Nenagh feins - were they prosecuted?

CiniO · 13-11-2011 07:04PM #1

I remember some time ago lad put that video on youtube, and few days later it was shown on TV. They took it off youtube, but it was too late anyway. They said on TV that lads are going to be prosecuted, but never heard anything more about it since.
Does anyone know actually what happened in the end?

Video is back on youtube here:

To be honest actually I agree it's stupid, and probably dangerous what they were doing, but I can't see anything really devastating.

There was similar issue in Poland few years ago, with a 5 lads in subaru impreza, who recorded their city-ride and put it on youtube.
Luckily video was quickly reported, and the driver was prosecuted.
That's the video, and comparking to Nenagh feins, I think it's way more dangerous what they were doing, as they exceed 160km/h in few places in city centre.
Here's the video:

And now another one from Macedonia uploaded only yesterday.
I'm curios if this one is going to be prosecuted as well.

The lads in the first video got done. There was a post around here somewhere about it a week ago, possibly two.

The second video I showed to a Polish friend and was amazed when, by complete coincidence, it was his home town! He started pointing out landmarks and everything! Glad they got done.

Holy **** at the third video! That's pretty silly. Giving respectable Focus owners a bad name...

What's the speed limit there in Japan?
Except from exceeding speed limit, I can't see anything wrong with it.
In Germany it would be perfectly legal.

Kalel · 13-11-2011 08:30PM

No it would not be perfectly legal in Germany..it would be legal on parts of the autobahn but that's about it..
Most of these boy racer muppets can barely handle a car doing 50 mph..

I never said it would be legal anywhere in Germany.
It would be legal on motorways and doublecarriage ways with no speed limits.

I think its 100kmh on highways. There was a gentlemen's agreement until 2008ish that limited the power output to a max of 276 and limited the speed to 180kmh. Now de-restricted

Now lets get some vids up of some silly arabs :P

Video length 5 minutes. Jail sentence 4 months. Driving ban, 10 years. Net result, timeless

You cant be serious! If anybody had pulled out suddenly it would have been guaranteed instant and messy death.

Delighted he was sentenced and actually got jail time, pity it wasn't longer jail time though, he deserved longer imo.

I think 10 years off the road and 4 months in prison is bit harsh and done mostly for show, as a warning to others.

To be honest, these lads didn't directly endanger anyone. They didn't cause any situation which would require any other road user to react in any way to avoid danger.

I understand that driving with foot outside a windows is a bit of avantgarde, especially on narrow road with other traffic and school on the side.
If something appeared no his way, it would take a good bit of reaction time to put foot back inside and start braking. But anyway I don't think it would take any longer than it takes the driver after drinking 8 pints and having something like 200mg/100ml alcohol in his blood. If he was caught drink-driving though, he wouldn't be prosecuted with 4 months prison and 10 years driving ban. That's what I find a bit of hypocrisy of the authorities.

That's just my own opinion.

Why someone should pull suddenly?

Ha ha, I think we can safely say that you and I are polar opposites

I'd have loved to have seen him get at least two years (he'd be out in a year given the Irish system). I'd also like to have seen him banned for life from driving. Someone of his monumentally epic stupidity (not hiding his face or reg plate) shouldn't be allowed to drive a car, ever.

But in this country usually nothing happens because everyone is expecting someone to pull suddenly, as it's so common.
In Germany everyone knows then pulling suddenly might mean death.

As you said - we are opposites.
I would way more prefer to meet him on my way in the nearest future, then someone driving completely wasted without knowing what's happening.

But I probably won't see him for next 10 years, while I might see someone who caused a fatal accident 4 years ago while being completely drunk, and already atoned his 4 year driving ban.
