    Judge Mary Devins strikes again - good on her!
    A tractor driver who caused an 11-kilometre tailback on a national primary road involving 80–100 vehicles was fined €300 and banned from driving for a year by a District Court Judge.

    Judge Mary Devins was told by Garda John Boyle at Castlebar District Court that on June 20 last he came across “a convoy” of vehicles travelling eastwards on the N5 outside Westport which were held up by a tractor towing a trailer which contained a mechanical digger.

    Garda Boyle gave evidence that after overtaking between 80 and 100 vehicles he got to the tractor and trailer which was keeping traffic to about 20 kilometres per hour.

    The witness said that when he spoke to the tractor driver, Brian McGuinness, of The Grove, Castlebar, the defendant told him he thought he had pulled in earlier to let traffic go by.

    Only right, I was going to Cavan and got stuck behind a guy in a tractor 25mph for miles. Even though he had a number of chances to pull in and let up pass he didn't. Must have been a mile of build up behind him

    Some people only think of themselves and are ignorant of the rules of the road. If more got fined they'd soon cop on.

    You should've called the guards?
