      Way too lenient, given the speed involved?

      Surely making that conscious decision to drive at such speed should be instant ban, irrespective if you have your own business or not. That surely should have been even more of an incentive to keep a clean licence.

      How? I cant even go the speed limit with people in front of me slowing down to look at their phones or stopping to go around corners

      Judge Keane said: “That’s faster than a jumbo jet. It’s absolutely outrageous to be driving faster than an aeroplane.”

      The speed was 197, a jumbo needs roughly 280 to take off

      People don’t change. Someone willing to do 192 in a 100 zone won’t let this stop them being a cunt.

      “Defence solicitor Jack Purcell said that his client was a family man who ran his own building and renovation company. He said that Mr Nowak had been driving since 1996 and had no previous convictions. ”

      I’ve never understood how this kind of nonsense is a defense. On the day in question, he was, in fact, traveling at an illegal speed, one that does, in fact, warrant a conviction.

      It shouldn’t be allowed as mitigation either.

      “I need my car for work” should make you consider not driving at stupid speeds and avoid the risk of not being able to work. Again, it’s irrelevant after the fact.

      If you were driving and saw a car going by you at 192kph, you would clearly see it is an unbelievably dangerous speed and id say actually quite hard to get up to that speed. No normal person drives that speed. The fact he doesn’t have any previous convictions I would guess is down to the fact he hasn’t previously been caught due to lack of speed checks

      Yet more evidence of how out of touch most Judges are. If a Jumbo Jet was doing 197Km/h it would take 25.12 hours to fly from SNN to JFK.

      What a langer.

      Jesus I’m more impressed that it was a fucking ford mundano that done it. “Any chance you do me for 200 boss. Im trying to sell it”

      Was he late to join the queue for Jakie Lennox?

      Anyway

      I doubt a jumbo jet can even take off at that speed.
      The judge would be a good fit for r/confidentlyincorrect

      If your 747 is doing 197kph there will likely be a lot of alarms booping and rattling at you telling you a very bad thing is about to happen involving gravity, the ground and a lot of jet fuel.

      113 people dead on the roads already this year he should have lost his licence 100% . Absolutely nuts speed to be doing .

      OK, by a jumbo jet, you mean a 747. The average cruising speed of a 747 is mack .8 or around 520 mph. You’re telling me, someone was clocked at just under the speed of sound somewhere in Cork? What the hell were they driving? Trust SSC?

    20. knutterjohn on

      We need to go back to MPH, these things are a lot less impressive sounding.
