Max Ciantar said that his traffic accidents get more media coverage than wars that are raging across the world.

If a bomb went off in a Church, and he had a car accident at the same time, his accident would be reported first, he added in court.

Ciantar, who is in custody after breaching court orders, was testifying in the compilation of evidence against him after he was accused of violating a driving ban, causing an accident and threatening the driver of the other car in Hamrun.

Ciantar's lawyer filed a request for the granting of bail. The court said it would issue its bail decision at a later date.

Ciantar had been jailed after running over tow girls in Attard and not stopping to give assistance.
