A man has been jailed after racking up a string of motoring offences when already disqualified from driving, including smashing past a vehicle belonging to his ex-partner's brother in what the judge described as a "fraught" situation.

Charlie Milner, of 14 Inisorga, Curraclough in Bandon in Co Cork, had accumulated 35 previous convictions and a 10-year driving ban despite being aged just 21. Those included six previous convictions for driving with no insurance and seven for dangerous driving.
