A
learner driver who failed at a roundabout during his driving test could
be sent to prison after threatening to kill his examiner and driving
instructor.
Antony Kevin Alltree, 25, then chased his instructor around, swearing profusely.
Burnley
Magistrates Court heard how Alltree flew into a rage after the examiner
stopped him entering a roundabout in an unsafe manner by using the dual
brake, on February 9.
After
pulling over to the side of the road, Alltree got out of the car,
slammed the door and shouted at his examiner: “You would not have one
that if you knew who I was.”
His driving Instructor tried to calm Alltree down, yet Alltree shouted: “All I have to do is make one phone call and you are both dead. I will kill you.”He then started banging on the car and continued to shout expletives. The examiner and instructor began to drive off towards the test centre and Alltree chased after the car screaming abuse.
The police were called and when Alltree arrived back at the test centre, he denied making threats. He claimed to have returned to the test centre to retrieve his provisional licence, which seems strange, as all provisionals have to be carried by the candidate throughout the driving test. They are never left at the test centre.
Alltree was released on bail, and the case is adjourned until April. The magistrates said that all sentencing options were open.
Events of this nature are fortunately very rare, most people accept things if the decision goes against them, but rarely, some people react in a hysterical manner, and the law takes a dim view. I have never seen this happen in Gloucester or Cheltenham.
