A 29-YEAR-old Carlisle man who has admitted driving dangerously through residential streets in the city is to be sentenced by a crown court judge.
Dominic Winner, of Weardale Road, Carlisle, admitted three offences when he appeared before the city’s Rickergate Magistrates’ Court.
The court heard that the dangerous driving offence was committed during a course of driving that saw the defendant travel along Wigton Road, Raffles Parade, Orton Road, and Hutton Way, on June 18.
He was driving a silver Vauxhall Astra car, the court heard.
The two other offences – also admitted by the defendant and all committed on the same day – were allegations of uninsured driving, and driving otherwise than in accordance with his licence.
Magistrates sent the case to Carlisle Crown Court for a sentencing hearing on July 22.
In the meantime, the defendant was remanded in custody.
Magistrates said that they had made that decision because of the defendant’s previous criminal record and because at the time the defendant was on post sentence supervision at the time when he committed the offences. An allegation that Winner failed to stop when required to do so by a police officer was dismissed.
