As they drew level with him at the lights they noticed he was not wearing a seat belt.
He moved off at speed on the Dromore Road before braking hard and taking a sharp left into a property.
When spoken to Cardwell asked if this was because he didn’t signal adding that he was only out of bed and there was fuse in his indicator.
A barrister representing the defendant said he had never come to police attention before.
