Might be the last ride you ever had, but what a way to go

That would also count as the first for a few lads here.

Is that the one that was jailed for the fatal crash in Cork?

Bit of a vacant stare in that photo too.
heard some fine details of this tragic story just after it happened. Not nice at all!
Whatâs the story with the tragic passing of that poor lady? From what the reports say, several people tried to intervene, urging the driver to pull over and stop. Itâs heartbreaking to think of how things unfolded. I canât help but wonder why the passenger didnât or couldnât get out of the car, especially given how recklessly Thomas was reportedly driving. Itâs such a devastating situation, and my thoughts are with her family and loved ones.
From what I gather both were fully loaded and the deceased was moved into the driver seat
The two of them went on the piss in various places and got absolutely sloshed. 12 drinks. They moved between the various places by car (or a jeep) driven by the convicted.
The convicted literally fell asleep at the wheel several times, in one instance for eight minutes while cars tried to tip toe around her. Then she overturned the vehicle. She was wearing a seat belt but passenger who died wasnât.
There was no sense of social responsibility on the part of either person in the vehicle. There was a pair of them in it, but ultimately itâs all on the driver.
Iâd be interested to know the back story as to why they did it. Iâd imagine there was some sort of traumatic trigger event in one of their outside lives that caused them to do it. Or perhaps not, who knows.

Did you read where it said about the cctv footage?
What was the nature of the cctv footage?
I believe the accused initially claimed she wasnât driving, then there was cctv that clearly showed she was. She claimed head injuries. Iâm sure if she had pulled yer wan into the drivers seat it would be reported though.
I would say that youâd be amazed at the amount of people that drink and drive regularly with a lot of drink on them.

12 drinks is an unbelievable amount for a woman. Itâs probably 3 full bottles of wine. 1 bottle is enough to put your earmuffs on, imagine 3 bottles and to have all that within 5 hrs before 7.30pm.
I thought it was forum favourite Caroline Morahan at first
Not unlike her tbf
13 drinks seems high for a drink driver
With the equivalent of three bottles of wine or more down them?
They were sloshed like me the night I fell asleep in a doorway on the Quays after puking my ring up over my Celtic bumblebee jersey in the middle of The Kitchen nightclub.
May 22nd, 1998 if youâre asking.
But I wasnât driving.
