Conor McGregor has narrowly avoided jail for an "appalling" series of dangerous driving incidents in Dublin where he jumped a red light, sped in and out of traffic, and almost caused a collision.

The MMA star asked: "Are you taking the piss?" when a garda who drove at 160 km/h to catch him eventually asked him to step out of his Bentley Continental GT convertible on the evening of March 22, 2022.
