Overview

• Morgan pleaded guilty at Chester Magistrates’ Court and received a 12-month community order requiring 200 hours of unpaid work.
• He was banned from driving for six months and must pay £199 in court costs and surcharge.
• Police first responded when the BMW’s automatic SOS system alerted them to the crash, though Morgan only identified himself as the driver 48 hours later.
• Court records showed Morgan, who runs Move Residential, has two prior drink-driving convictions and nine penalty points for speeding.
• His lawyer said he was naive and believed the vehicle’s SOS notification would suffice to notify authorities, demonstrating a misunderstanding of reporting duties.
