Cork gardaí abandoned chase of disqualified driver due to his 'totally reckless' speed

The young man got five months for driving with no insurance and for dangerous driving which put others at risk, and was further disqualified from driving for 10 years

Det. Garda Manning had to drive at such a speed to follow Mr Doyle that he decided it was too dangerous to continue over fears for any other road users or motorists who could be on the same road.

A disqualified driver fled from gardaí at such speed that officers in pursuit thought it was unsafe to continuing following him.

Patrick Doyle, 26 and of 1 Coach Road in Dunmanway, Co. Cork, pleaded guilty to charges relating to the incident near Cool Mountain, including dangerous driving, on June 26 last year.
