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.

A Brisbane LNP councillor may have taken it a little too far by putting his name and the council logo on wayfaring stickers paid for by ratepayers on footpaths near a Taringa school.
Key points:
Stickers directing students to and from QASMT in Toowong were installed by Cr James Mackay in late January
Labor questioned the appropriateness of the stickers which had Cr Mackay s name on them

Dangerous operation of vehicle chargesin Brisbane
A 24-year-old man has been charged with multiple offences, including unlawful use of a motor vehicle and assault, after driving dangerously across Brisbane yesterday.
Just before midday, a white BMW was allegedly stolen from a residence on Salubris Place at Moggill. A short time later, police observed the car travelling along Moggill Road at Brookfield where it allegedly drove off in a dangerous manner to avoid being intercepted.
Around ten minutes later, the car was again observed travelling along Burbong Street at Chapel Hill when it allegedly crossed to the wrong side of the road to avoid being intercepted by police.
