Teen Driver Caught at 174 km/h | Cork News

A teen on a provisional license got caught speeding at 174 km/h in a 120 km/h zone, driving alone in an Audi A4 — a dangerous combo for a 17-year-old. His mom begged the court to get the car back, claiming it’s essential for his job commute. But Judge Andrew Cody called her out for not knowing her son was driving unaccompanied across counties, and questioned whether a 17-year-old really needs a two-liter Audi. The judge made it clear: public safety comes first. He agreed to return the car — but only if it’s sold within 18 weeks or crushed, and the teen is banned from ever driving it again. The gardaí also used social media to remind parents: talk to your kids about safe driving — before it’s too late.
