And finally… mum’s the word
A young Enniskillen man who admitted driving without insurance swore at his mum in court after she revealed his previous conviction for speeding to the judge.
Judge Peter Magill, sitting in Dungannon Magistrates’ Court, doubled 19-year-old Nathan White’s driving ban after his mother’s intervention.
The judge had handed down a one-month driving ban and a £100 fine, to be discharged over 16 weeks, for the offence.
White’s mother then called out: “He’ll need longer than that - he’s already paying off another fine from a different court.”
Judge Magill, on hearing the details of his prior conviction for speeding, then doubled his driving ban to two months, the Belfast Telegraph reports.
White then clenched his fists to his face and told his mother to “f*** away off”.
