    TT closed roads driving charge withdrawn

    A 60 year old from Ramsey has seen a charge of driving on a closed road during TT dropped.

    Alan Kermode of Church Road was accused of driving onto the course after a red flag incident during a sidecar session on May 29.

    Prosecutor Sara Jayne Dodge said she accepted it had been a genuine mistake and he'd left the road as soon as he'd realised - so it wasn't in the public interest to proceed.

    His advocate told the court Mr Kermode had spent a night in police cells, describing it as 'disgraceful' and claiming there'd been a lack of barriers in front of homes.

    The charge was marked withdrawn.
