A truck driver who was described as ‘a dangerous man’ by a court of law was jailed for 18 months after he was found guilty of dangerous driving.

Marius Camilleri, 57, of Qormi, has a criminal history spanning 23 years, including multiple convictions in relation to traffic offences.

He was found guilty of driving a truck without a road or driver’s licence, speeding and driving dangerously, giving false details to the police, damaging third-party property, failing to stop at an accident and breaching the peace.

He was also banned from driving for two years after serving his time in jail. The court, presided by Magistrate Simone Vella, ordered the confiscation of the truck he was driving when he committed the offences.
