GARDAÍ CAUGHT 755 motorists travelling above the speed limit throughout a 24-hour-long operation aimed at slowing people down.
Gardaí said GoSafe vans they had checked checked the speeds of 163,146 vehicles, and detected 225 going over the limit.
Examples of high speeds include:
National Slow Down Day was running from 7am to 7pm yesterday.
Gardaí said the aim of the operation is to “promote safer driving behaviour among motorists and to encourage all of society to work with us to help prevent road traffic collisions, and to ultimately keep communities safe”.
The force said the operation is aimed at high visibility speed enforcement activity across Ireland’s road network.
Gardaí said that 63 people have been killed on roads in Ireland since the beginning of the year in Ireland, 14 more than at the same time last year.
