The lawyer said Ferris told police he had been checking for a missed call. The defendant said he had insurance cover and was told to produce it along with his licence at a police station but failed to do so, counsel added. A defence lawyer said Ferris had comprehensive insurance for a classic vehicle but it did not cover him for this particular vehicle.
