We need a culture change in the judiciary wrt to driver behaviour. The Gardaí arrested this guy and charged him on two counts of dangerous driving. On hearing the mitigation the judged reduced the charge to careless driving, convicted him on one count with a fine of €1,000 and dismissed the other charge - no driving ban. The mitigation? He was late for work. 🙄

Gardaí aren't going to bother charging people for dangerous driving if they know judges will not convict.
