Police stopped Ryan Johnston, 22, from Fergleen Park, as he drove the quad in the Galliagh area in April.
He had bought the £500 bike for his three-year-old son for Christmas and claimed he was driving it to his sister’s house to store it.
The judge at Londonderry Magistrates Court asked regarding the buying of a quad bike for a three-year-old, to which defence solicitor Paddy McGurk replied it was a long-term investment.
