Man who took car on test drive struck off-duty garda

A man selling his car because he had been disqualified from driving later learned that the man who took it for a test drive hit an off-duty garda.

Ryan O’Gorman, of Brookfield House, the Miles, Clonakilty, Co Cork, faced a charge of not taking due diligence in knowing the identity of the man who took his car for a test drive after Clonakilty District Court heard that the test driver had hit the garda while driving and then provided him with a false name, address, and phone number.
