Premium Content Subscriber only A TRUCK driver banged on the window of a tradie’s ute then punched him in a nasty outburst of road rage. When the tradie put up his arm to protect his head the blow from Alan Davidson struck his forearm, an Ipswich court has heard. Davidson was a disqualified driver at the time and should not have been on the road in his work truck when he lost his temper. It was one of nine charges Davidson was sentenced for at Ipswich Magistrates Court on Thursday. Alan J Davidson, 39, from North Ipswich, pleaded guilty to assault doing bodily harm to the man on November 21, 2019; four charges of driving when disqualified (in August and November 2019, and two in April 2020); drink driving when unlicensed on April 1, 2020; obstructing police when in licensed premises on October 31; failing to stop; and failing to appear at court.
