Junior Counsel Liam Carroll told the court Kyle Hayes was willing to enter a plea to careless driving.Judge Colm Roberts said he is aware of a practice around the country where some people try to reduce dangerous driving charges to careless driving and said he has a ‘strong view’ on what he considers dangerous.He said no decision on the application will be made until he hears the evidence.
Judge Roberts said he understood the practice developed for good reason but said tolerance for dangerous driving is lower now. No evidence was given about the alleged offence in court and Kyle Hayes did not speak during the brief hearing.Main image shows Kyle Hayes at a homecoming for Limerick’s All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship-winning team, 24-07-2023.
