Driving licence body looks at loophole

The body responsible for the issuing of driving licences has said it will review its processes after the recent case of a man, who had been disqualified from driving after a series of dangerous incidents, being back on the road within months due to a gap in regulations.

The case, heard last month in Clonakilty District Court, involved a man who drove for more than 50km during which he crashed into a garda car and repeatedly failed to stop for police. His car was brought to a stop after gardaí used a stinger.
