KILDARE COURT: Learner driver was travelling at 176 km/h
A learner driver found driving at 176 km/h was prosecuted at Naas District Court.
Vladislav Coiman, 19, whose address was given as 21 Deerhaven Park, Clonee, Dublin 15, was before the court for dangerous driving on January 23, 2022, on the M4, Kilmacredock Upper, Maynooth.
The court heard that the road was dry at the time and traffic volumes were moderately high.
The driver had a fully licenced driver with him and the motorway speed limit is 120 km/h.
Barrister Aisling Murphy said the defendant is a full time accountancy student and has been in the queue for five months awaiting a driving test.
She added that there is no date in sight for the defendant to do the test.
Judge Desmond Zaidan said that he was lucky to be appearing before him intact given the speed he was driving at.
Judge Zaidan imposed a €500 fine and banned the defendant for two years and he also imposed a €500 for no insurance.
