Conor McGregor’s License Suspended Six Months Following Speeding Incident
You get a load of this nonsense? You see this?
TMZ- Conor McGregor will be living the chauffeur life for a while — the UFC star’s driver’s license has been suspended for 6 MONTHS in Ireland over a 2017 speeding incident.
McGregor arrived to court Wednesday morning — in a SHARP looking suit — in County Kildare, Ireland (population 8,412) to face the judge in a case where he was accused of doing 95 mph in a 60 in a blue Range Rover.
Aside from having his driving privileges revoked, McGregor was also hit with an $1,100 fine.
During the hearing, McGregor reportedly apologized to the court — but the judge was upset and asked why Conor wasn’t charged for a more serious crime, considering how dangerously the UFC star was driving.
After the hearing, McGregor told RTE in Ireland, “I gotta drive safer.”
Folks, this is what we call back home – bollocks. Absolute bollocks. I mean…a SIX MONTH SUSPENSION??? SIX GODDAMN MONTHS you’re tellin’ me the Champ Champ can’t drive any of his cars??? Not his Lamborghini Aventador Roadster? Not his Cadi Escalade? Not his Rolls-Royce Ghost? Not his Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe? Not his McLaren 650S? Not his Rolls-Royce Dawn? Not his BMW i8? Not his Mercedes-Benz S550 Coupe? Not his Mercedes-Benz Sedans? Not even his Lamborghini Huracan?!
Why? What’s the purpose of this? The “speeding” incident happened in 2017! Coulda been before Conor Jr was even born, in which case, fatherhood has changed Conor completely!!! You think he would’ve sped knowing he’s got a son at home that he should be setting a good example for? No chance! He ain’t a crime-committer! Also, this article says McGregor was going 95 in a 60mph zone. That ain’t too bad. Definitely coulda been worse. He’s not even hitting triple digits and in a town with a population of 8,412 people. With the six month ban and absurd $1,100 fine – which I would pay in a heartbeat – you’d think homeboy was going 140mph in the middle of Times Square on New Year’s Eve.
I got pulled over once, going like 50 in a 35mph zone, I handed the cop a PBA card with my license and registration, and he was like, “Alright, have a good day, please drive a little more safely”. Now, I’m going to spend the rest of my day phoning every police department in northern New Jersey trying to find that officer to ask for my retroactive ticket and that PBA card back so I can mail it to Conor and hopefully have this whole thing thrown out.
If that doesn’t work, though…
I volunteer as chauffeur.
My credentials? I’ve driven many friends and family members around, to and from aunt’s and uncle’s houses or malls or movie theaters, and have never gotten into an accident with them in the car. I’ve driven to and from the Jersey Shore countless times, I’ve driven in New York City, I’ve even driven in the pouring rain a few times! I famously drove Cody Rhodes to a few professional shows as well, meaning I know how not to wrinkle a three-piece in the car! Oh, and here’s a good one – it only took me two tries to pass my drivers test! That ain’t bad!!!
So Conor…just give me a ring if you’d like to take me up on this offer. I will get a passport and learn how to drive on the wrong side of the road IMMEDIATELY.
