Judge Kevin Kilrane described a young man who was convicted of dangerous driving as “a speedster” and said the type of driving he displayed was “shocking” and was “too prevalent among young men.”
Cole Gunning, Deerpark, Boyle, Co Roscommon, appeared in Carrick-on-Shannon District Court last Friday on a plea of guilty to careless driving at Treanmore, Mohill and Coolabaun, Mohill on February 24, 2021.
However, having heard the evidence, Judge Kilrane refused to accept the plea to the lesser charge and convicted the defendant of dangerous driving and disqualified him for two years.
