Road ban McGregor has new driver lined up already!

UFC star Conor McGregor has joked that he has his 20-month-old son Conor Jnr ready to step in as his new driver after he got a 6-month driving ban in Naas Court on Wednesday.

McGregor Snr posted a good-humoured video on his Instagram account of the toddler in a motorised miniature Mercedes car which he was controlling via remote control.

In the caption, the 30-year-old joked that “I’ve found my new driver” as little Conor got used to life behind the wheel in his toy vehicle.

At Naas District Court on Wednesday, UFC star was banned from driving for six months and fined €1,000 for speeding.

He apologised in court, saying “I didn’t know I was going that fast.”

McGregor was caught driving at 154kph in a 100kph zone on the N7 at Kill in the incident last year.

He failed to pay the fixed penalty fine as he had delegated it to somebody who forgot to do it.

Putting him off the road, Judge Zaidan noted he had 12 previous motoring convictions and said McGregor was fortunate he was not charged with careless or dangerous driving.
