Reckless driver caught speeding on Wicklow's M11 despite being banned from Irish roads for 25 years

A reckless driver that has been banned from Irish roads for 25 years was caught speeding on the M11 recently.

Gardai nabbed the driver, who now faces a court date, going 156km/h on the mobility app while he was out on the popular stretch at night time.

You would think that a ban from driving for almost three decades would be enough to make him see sense, but it doesn't seem so.

It would certainly be interesting to see what excuse they'll have for the judge when they're facing the stand!

Wicklow An Garda Siochana said: "Driver on M11 detected speeding.

"A quick check on the mobility app revealed the driver is currently serving a disqualification from driving....for 25 years. Needless to say he's heading for court."
