Penalty points for motorist (75) whose vehicle hit pedestrian
A 75-year-old motorist whose vehicle struck a pedestrian on November 3 last year at the junction of Clarke Court and Lough Road in Antrim town has admitted driving without due care and attention and has been given nine penalty points and a fine of £400.
Pauline Hanna, of Brantwood Gardens in Antrim town, was at Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena.
The court was told the defendant had been going to pick up a friend to go to a "church meeting".
A defence solicitor said it had been "dark at the time" of the collision.
The pedestrian was injured, a prosecutor said.
District Judge Nigel Broderick said it was a "serious matter" and if the defendant had not had a 50-year clear driving record she would have been banned.
