Judge hands 25-year ban to young driver

A JUDGE has warned young drivers in Co Donegal he will consider imposing curfews as he handed down a 25-year driving ban and a 22-month jail term to a man convicted of dangerous driving.

Speaking while sentencing Kevin Dunleavy, 24, Judge Seamus Hughes said: “I want the message to go out loud and clear in Donegal, that if there are any further cases like this before me they will be treated in the same way.

“I’m not tolerating young men driving around like this and endangering the lives of innocent members of the public.”
