Connor Michael Bradford Moore, 20, pleaded guilty to four charges in Gladstone Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

He was involved in a crash with another car at the intersection of Philip Street and Oxley Drive.

Police checks on Moore’s licence revealed he did not hold a motorbike licence which allowed him to ride on a road and that the bike was uninsured.

Due to injuries Moore sustained during the crash, he was transported to the Gladstone Hospital for treatment and observations.

A sample of Moore’s blood was taken and on August 24 lab results found his blood-alcohol reading after the crash was .174.

He was issued a notice to appear in Gladstone Magistrates Court.

Magistrate Bevan Manthey convicted and fined Moore $1200 and suspended him from driving for 10 months due to the severity of his offending. Convictions were recorded.
