Motorist claims ‘vendetta’ against him

A motorist who lost his appeal against his 12th driving test failure claimed yesterday there was a vendetta against him within the Road Safety Authority.

Raymond Heffernan, aged 62, of Mt Brosna, Mayfield, Cork, was warned about his outbursts in Cork District Court yesterday.

However, as the case ended, he made another claim about the pressure he believed the tester would be under to fail him in his 13th test: “The tester that would pass me, they would probably shoot him.”
