Motorist who knocked down man loses appeal

A motorist has denied a dangerous-driving charge where a man claimed that the driver knocked him down by driving straight at him at speed.

However, the prosecution said that, unusually, the disputed event was caught on CCTV.

Jonathan Glavin, of 299, Cathedral Rd, Gurranabraher, Cork, appealed yesterday against a conviction for dangerous driving and the two-year driving ban that came with it from Cork district court.
