187kph and only gets fined.

This story was doing the rounds on the Motors section last night and today I see it has made the Indo:

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/187kph-beauty-queen-escapes-drive-ban-30650507.html

The fact that she said she "didn't know" at what speed she was travelling would have been enough for me to ban her.
Absolutely shameful that she got praised for her honesty, fined 500e and from what I've reading feck all points on the licence.
I give up at this stage how the justice system works in this country.
I'd say the poor bastards that were banned last week for similar actions must be fairly pi33ed off at the ruling.

a hush, she was pretty and told the truth, what do you want blood?

bear1 · 09-10-2014 10:54AM

A topless photo and I'll call it quits.

Caliden · 09-10-2014 10:55AM

Ah the poor peteen, I'd say she was traumatised from it all.

09-10-2014 10:55AM

All over the local radio here. Looks like there is uproar over this after all

kneemos · 09-10-2014 10:56AM

Honesty pays.

VinLieger · 09-10-2014 10:56AM

Clear case of the judge having the hots for her, not knowing your doing 187kph is a garbage excuse and if you don't know your doing that speed you should have your license taken away for sheer ignorance and stupidity at least

Banjo String · 09-10-2014 10:57AM

It's because she's a fine thing.

I would.

AnonoBoy · 09-10-2014 10:57AM

"I have never been speeding before"

"I've never been caught speeding before." I think she meant to say.

Oh I would too... just wouldn't let her drive

She is a star, quite right.

Sets hearts and cars a-racing!

anncoates · 09-10-2014 10:59AM

This was in clare

It's alright though, she wont speed again cause she drives a 1.4 Golf :rolleyes:

ZiabR · 09-10-2014 11:00AM

187kmph is a ****ing joke. If she hit anything at that speed, the carnage would have been unreal. "I did not realise I was driving that fast" is complete nonsense. Anyone else would be banned for 6 months minimum.

Yep, like those people last week. Which I believe were doing slightly lower speeds. May be wrong on that though.
Didn't even get any points which makes it even worse IMO.

Barely There · 09-10-2014 11:02AM

I would have let her off with a slap on the arse too.

I mean wrist.

PizzamanIRL · 09-10-2014 11:03AM

Poor judge thinks he has a chance with her because he went easy on her. Not a chance.

kneemos · 09-10-2014 11:04AM

If you can't hit a ton on the motorway where can you do it?

Staplor · 09-10-2014 11:06AM

Is this the same judge that bans people from driving for 6 months for parking in handicapped spots?

Now now, less of that, they obviously were not as easy on the eye.

flutered · 09-10-2014 11:13AM

no wonder the gaurds dont bother at times, bad enough the guys above them removing penalty points, now we see the judges not giving them.

09-10-2014 11:13AM

ah this is gas isn't it. What must the producers of those graphic speeding ads be thinking? All the wasted air time letting us know gardai vans are on the motorway and all we have to do is wear a belly top and bat our lashes?? Is this real???

so I can do 150 down the motorway now and when I'm in court explain that I was too busy getting head to notice the speedometer yeah?. Once the same judge cleans himself up and and changes his underwear, Im good to go yeah?

You may have a wee bit of a problem if you didn't shave your legs and have a slight overhang round the belly.

187kph and only gets fined.
