Doyle, who is unemployed, did admit to driving a Vauxhall Astra car in Hele Road on May 28 without a licence or insurance.
Defending, Ben Darby said: "There is no suggestion of dangerous driving and no suggestion of speeding."
For driving without insurance, Doyle's licence was endorsed with six penalty points and he was fined £100. For driving without a licence, he was fined £40 and his licence was endorsed.
He was also ordered to pay a £15 victim surcharge and £60 costs.
