Judge: Motorist had worst possible driving record

A motorist who had what a district judge described as being as bad a driving record as one was ever going to see had a five-month jail sentence and seven-year driving ban imposed on him yesterday.

Minutes later in another courtroom another judge imposed a concurrent six-month sentence and banned Shane Green from driving for 10 years for yet another offence of driving without insurance, saying he had absolutely no regard for the law.

Green, aged 29, of 8 Churchfield Green, Cork, pleaded guilty at Cork District Court yesterday to multiple offences arising out of two further incidents before Judge Tim Lucey.
