Speeding Dad Faces Heavy Consequences | Ireland News

A dad of three and owner of a drainage business, David Doherty was caught speeding at 174 km/h on a 100 km/h road near Slieverue—just after 2 PM on Feb 16, 2025. Pulled over by Garda Conor Courtney, he admitted he wasn’t paying attention to the time. Convicted of careless driving, his license was revoked. In court, he appealed for reinstatement, arguing his role as sole driver in his household. Judge Cormac Quinn rejected that plea, fining him €500 and ordering a €1,000 donation to Oasis House, a Waterford women’s refuge. This case underscores how speeding doesn’t just cost you points—it can cost you money, community goodwill, and a serious lesson about road safety.
