A police computer check for insurance also revealed Smith did not have a valid policy.
Defence solicitor John MacColl told Sheriff Gary Aitken that he had little to say about the offences other than: "Clearly it was a significant error of judgement."
Smith admitted both charges and was fined £500. His driving licence was endorsed with 10 penalty points.
