Selfies lead to prosecution of man on multiple driving charges

Selfies taken by a motorist led directly to his prosecution on multiple counts of dangerous driving after he took off at speed from gardaí through red lights in Cork city.

The motorist was approached at Lavitt’s Quay by Garda Kevin Connolly, but he took off over Patrick’s Bridge through a red light, drove through another red light on the other side, and through a third one on Bridge Street and up Patrick’s Hill against the one-way system.
