Limerick hurler Kyle Hayes overtook nine cars at 155 kilometres per hour in his Audi A6 before cutting in when he ran out of road, a garda testified on Wednesday as he lost his appeal against a dangerous driving conviction and two-year driving ban.

Judge Helen Boyle decided on Wednesday afternoon to dismiss the appeal against the dangerous driving conviction and she affirmed the order of the district court to convict him of the offence, fine him €250 and disqualify him from driving for the mandatory period of two years. That driving ban will not come into effect until June 12.
