A Spalding man was ‘spaced out’ on cocaine when he hit a cyclist with his car causing him to fall to the ground, Boston Magistrates Court has heard.
Christopher Storm, 57, of Winsover Road, who admitted driving under the influence of drugs, was driving a Renault Clio when he knocked the cyclist off his bicycle in Park Road at 4pm on May 11. and admitted to police he had taken cocaine the previous night.
Beris Brickles, mitigating, said Storm’s wing mirror had caught the cyclist causing him to fall to the ground and that he had sold his car to avoid temptation in the future.
He was banned from driving for 13 months, fined £120 and ordered to pay £117 in costs and charges.
