A judge has accused a teenager of arrogance, ignorance, selfishness and total disregard for others as he was banned from driving for five months for parking across two disabled spaces in Ennis.
18-year-old John McNamara of O'Donoghue Avenue, Janesboro, Limerick was banned from driving until the end of the year, and fined 500 euro, as he pleaded guilty to parking in the disabled zone at the town's Parnell Street car park on January 4 last.
The court heard that McNamara – who has no previous convictions – had been going to the nearby cinema and had parked in one disabled spot, but strayed into a second by badly parking.
Earlier, at Ennis District Court, Judge Patrick Durcan had imposed a separate five-month driving ban on an Ennis woman who was not in court, but had also parked in a disabled spot.
