Clough motorist collided with vehicle before shouting obscenities at woman and making off
A motorist collided with the rear of a woman's car and "shouted obscenities" at her before making off.
Cavan McAuley (29), of Springmount Mews, Clough, was sentenced on charges of driving without due care and attention; failing to remain and report a collision; absence of insurance and failing to give information to police when initially contacted.
A prosecutor told Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, that on February 20 last year a collision happened in Ballymena town centre.
The woman contacted police. The defendant had pulled over and approached the woman saying there was no need to contact police.
He "shouted obscenities" at her left before driving off without exchanging any details.
The prosecutor said damage to the woman's car cost "over £2,000" to repair.
When police had contacted the defendant he failed to give any information regarding the collision. He had a previous record.
The defendant was banned from driving for two years and fined £325.
