Motorist drove along one-way street and ended up in McDonald's car park in Ballymena
A motorist drove across a junction in Ballymena before going the wrong way at a one-way street and making a sharp turn into a car park at McDonald's in the town.
A solicitor for Alex McVeigh (18), of Cottage Mews in Ballymena, said the defendant was unfamiliar with the road system and had taken a wrong turn.
The defendant pleaded guilty to driving without due and attention; absence of insurance; and being an unaccompanied L driver on March 2 this year.
A prosecutor told Ballymena Magistrates' Court the Volkswagen Polo had been going at speed and mounted a kerb on the way into the car park. The defendant was an unaccompanied L driver.
A defence solicitor said the defendant's insurance was invalid because she did not have an accompanying qualified driver in the car with her. She had no record.
When she took a wrong turn and realised she was at a one-way street she pulled into McDonald's, it was said.
The defendant was banned from driving for a month and was fined £225.
