Uninsured driver panicked, hit up to 140km/h in chase

An uninsured driver panicked when a garda stopped him this week.

In a high-speed chase on Monday, the man — facing a charge of driving without insurance for a 10th time — hit speeds of 140km/h in the built-up Wilton area of Cork.

Garda Inspector Adrian Gamble said Danny O’Brien initially appeared to be pulling in when gardaí signalled for him to stop.
