Coroner: Limit speed of young drivers’ cars

A CORONER presiding at an inquest into the deaths of two young men in an horrific car crash in Co Kerry yesterday called for a change in the law and the possible introduction of speed limiters for young drivers.

Terence Casey said young men did not seem to see the dangers of speeding or powerful cars, and something would have to be done to stop carnage on the roads.

Mr Casey, coroner for south Kerry and a solicitor, said speed appeared to cause the car to go out of control on a bend near Lawlor’s Cross, on the N22 road between Killarney and Tralee, early on August 13 last.
