After the accident Hennessey posted photographs of his damaged Peugeot 306 on the Bebo social networking website with the caption "RIP".

He also had a conviction for careless driving when he drove off a bend at speed before the fatal crash and had refused to take a police driver improvement course.

He had only passed his driving test four months previously and only a fortnight after getting his licence went round a bend too quickly and careered into a wall.
