Conor McGregor ‘clocked at 95mph in a 62mph zone’ as he’s ordered before court on Wednesday
McGregor has been hit with four raps — one of speeding and three driving licence offences
CONOR McGregor was allegedly clocked at 95mph in a 60 zone, the Irish Sun on Sunday understands.
The MMA star has been ordered to appear before a court on Wednesday over a speeding charge.
McGregor has been hit with four raps — one of speeding and three driving licence offences. The Notorious is alleged to have been 34mph over the limit.
A source told the Irish Sun: “The normal sanction is three penalty points if the speeding offence is accepted without going to court.
“It is up to five penalty points if you are convicted in court. It all depends on circumstances, factors like where the offence was committed, if it is near a school, those types of things. It is up to the judge really.
“If there is nothing unusual about the case, typically it would be five points and a fine of around €300 or €400.
“One possible scenario for someone convicted of speeding would be penalty points and a fine.
“There is always the possibility that the case could get struck out for various reasons like if there is an irregularity, if the case fails because of the paperwork or if the case is not proved.”
HOWDY PARTNER Has Conor McGregor's next fight been revealed?

Judge Desmond Zaidan asked the court: “Mr McGregor, is he here?” Solicitor Tim Kennelly, for McGregor, replied: “He’s not, judge. I’ve been asked . . . to seek a precis of the evidence.”
But judge Zaidan insisted “the essence” of the offences was on the summons.
He outlined the four raps facing McGregor, one of speeding and three relating to the failure to produce a driving licence.
Sergeant Jim Kelly told the court that the Gardai served the summons on McGregor “face to face”.
And in a warning to McGregor, the judge declared the famous grappler needed to appear before the court.
He maintained the MMA lad should be aware of the case, saying: “There is no question of Mr McGregor not knowing about this.”
And the judge sent the superstar defendant a clear message.
He said: “I won’t ask why he is not here . . . but the onus was on the defence solicitor to notify his client to turn up for the hearing.
“If it is contested I won’t hear the case in absentia (in the absence of McGregor).”
Judge Zaidan also added that if McGregor or his lawyers wanted more information about the case, they could contact the Gardai.
Sgt Kelly revealed there would be a number of Garda witnesses giving evidence in relation to the charges against McGregor.
The case was adjourned until Wednesday.
