Motorist caught without insurance for 73rd time

A motorist was caught driving without insurance for the 73rd time and yesterday he was jailed for five months.

The sentencing judge in the case had to ask the prosecuting inspector to repeat the number of previous convictions as he was unsure if he had heard correctly.

“Can I ask you again – 72 previous convictions for no insurance?”Judge Olann Kelleher asked at Cork District Court.
