Cork motorist disqualified from driving after incident with cyclist has ban lifted

Man was allegedly using his phone when driving and drove closely behind cyclist following dispute

The penalties were imposed on the man at the district court for failing to give information required of the owner of the car as to who was driving at the relevant time.

A cyclist challenged a motorist about allegedly using his phone when driving and he then complained to the gardaí that the car revved and drove closely behind him and that the driver threw a small object at him as he passed.

The case came to light at Cork Circuit Appeals Court where the motorist, 24-year-old Romeo Stoica of Forest Ridge Crescent, Wilton, Cork, appealed against the outcome of the district court case where he was disqualified from driving for two years and fined €1,000.
