In effect he drove off and hit Mr Callaghan before driving away, with Mr Callaghan going to the floor."He claimed Mr Callaghan "taunted" him in the queue and tried to swing for him, which was "clearly not borne out by the CCTV", said Mr Gedge.
His barrister told the court her client "fully understands" the impact his actions have had on Mr Callaghan, adding he had family members who "wish to support him in managing his anger moving forwards".
