His defence solicitor said: "He had no intention to drive any car. There was discussion about the car being badly parked. He moved it a short distance."
Sheriff Maxwell Hendry noted that the charge was driving on the road.
The solicitor replied that his client had to exit the car park to go back in.
The sheriff said: "The primary issue was what was he doing getting behind the while of the car?"
