A 25-year-old man from Douglas has been disqualified from driving for eight weeks after having two collisions in five days.
Nicholas Kennaugh Convery, of First Avenue, pleaded guilty to two offences of driving without due care or attention.
The court heard how, on August 15 at 12.18pm, Convery was driving a Ford Transit van for his employer between Glen Helen and Ballacraine.
He lost control of the van, mounted the kerb and came to rest against a tree.
In a second incident, on August 20 at 7.47pm, police were called to an accident at Sea Cliff Road in Onchan.
Convery had reportedly caused significant damage to a wall and a Ford car which his car had shunted forward into the next parking space after impact.
Two other charges of having defective tyres were withdrawn by the prosecution.
Chair of the magistrates Caroline Convery said: ‘We have heard it was unfortunate you had two accidents in five days.
‘We would say what caused it was bad driving.’
