Sulky racers in court bid to get back on road

Three men who were involved in a notorious sulky race involving two horse-drawn sulkies and a fleet of cars applied yesterday to be allowed back on the road before the end of their five-year driving bans.

State solicitor Frank Nyhan said the prosecution is vehemently opposed to the men being allowed back on the road before the end of their disqualification period.

“The State vehemently object. This was one of the most serious dangerous driving cases ever seen by gardaí. It was a miracle nobody was killed,” he said.
