Marcella Duffy, who was banned from driving for six years, was travelling at 62kph in a 50kph zone when she killed club cyclist John Walsh, which the judge described as “somewhat over the speed limit”

    Speeding on the wrong side of the road while sleep deprived is “on the lower side” of culpability? What the hell is the normal side then??? A killdozer?

    Someone should, very remorsefully, run over that judge.

    Tfw transwomen and Muslims aren’t the most at risk of legal murder in the UK, it’s cyclists.

      Dublin isn’t in the UK any more. They’re sometimes a bit sensitive about that. Sadly, their motoring courts are about as pathetic, so I can see why you might not have realised.

        Aha, yeah thanks for pointing that out. I skated past the name as the title seems to be mirrored in the UK. Whopps
