Crashed into a farmer's wall in Kildare and left the car behind
Kildare gardaí located the defendant later
A man crashed his vehicle into a farmer’s wall and left the scene, including the car, behind.
Giorgu Nozadze, 36, whose address was given as 20 Croftwood Crescent, Ballyfermot, Dublin, was prosecuted for driving without insurance at the N7 at Quinsborough, Kill, on February 8 last.
He was prosecuted at Naas District Court for driving without insurance and leaving the scene.
Sgt Mary Meade said the defendant was subsequently located by the gardaí and the vehicle was extensively damaged.
The court was also told that the defendant had no previous convictions and the farmer did not wish to make a statement.
Sgt Meade added that the insurance disc on the vehicle was for another car.
Judge Desmond Zaidan said the only explanation for the defendant’s behaviour was that there was alcohol or a drug in his system.
He imposed a €1,000 fine and a six year disqualification for driving without insurance and an additional €750 for hit and run.
He was further fined €1,000 and disqualified for six years for using the insurance disc and the disqualifications are to run concurrently.
