A young man’s escapade of high-speed dangerous driving in an Audi A4 on country roads around Fermoy saw him jailed for two years and banned from driving for five years yesterday.

Detective Garda Martin Lawton said the series of incidents occurred after 9.30pm on June 23 last year in the Duntahane area of Fermoy, County Cork.
