A Garda road safety operation, which began last Thursday, October 24th 2024, at 7:00am, detected more than 1,200 drivers speeding.
Among those observed speeding was a driver travelling at 167km/h in an 80km/h zone. Another driver was caught travelling at 157km/h in a 100km/h zone, while another was observed travelling at 88km/h in a 50km/h zone.
Also on Irish roads, over this same period three people were killed, bringing the total number of road deaths, so far this year to 147.
Adding to these obvious dangers, this weekend’s Garda operation, arrested 158 drivers on suspicion of driving while intoxicated by alcohol and drugs. This is bourne out by the fact that yesterday a learner driver aged in his 20s, while holding no insurance was caught driving at 170km/h in a 120km/h zone. The offender tested positive for drugs on the roadside, before being arrested and charged with dangerous driving.
Gardaí are appealing, yet again, for all road users to slow down, especially in recognition of the fact we are presently experiencing colder, wetter and darker evenings in the season ahead.
Gardaí have described this driving behaviour by motorists, as making deliberate and conscious decisions to do so; thus showing little regard for their own lives, the lives of passengers and other road users.
Gardaí are appealed for all road users to slow down, especially in recognition of the fact Ireland is presently experiencing colder, wetter and darker evenings into the Xmas season ahead.

If I Could Turn Back Time.
If I could turn back time. If I could find a way, I’d take back those words that have hurt you, And you’d stay. I don’t know why I did the things I did, I don’t know why I said the things I said, Pride’s like a knife, it can cut deep inside. Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes. I didn’t really mean to hurt you, I didn’t wanna see you go, I know I made you cry, but baby, If I could turn back time, If I could find a way, I’d take back those words that have hurt you, You’d stay. If I could reach the stars, I’d give ’em all to you. Then you’d love me, love me, Like you used to do. (If I could turn back time) My world was shattered, I was torn apart, Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart. When you walked out that door, I swore that I didn’t care, But I lost every thing, darlin’, then and there. Too strong to tell you I was sorry, Too proud to tell you I was wrong, I know that I was blind, and darlin,’ If I could turn back time, If I could find a way, I’d take back those words that have hurt you, And you’d stay. If I could reach the stars, I’d give ’em all to you, Then you’d love me, love me, Like you used to do, ohh, If I could turn back time. (If I could turn back time.) If I could turn back time. (If I could turn back time.) If I could turn back time, ohh baby, I didn’t really mean to hurt you. I didn’t wanna see you go. I know I made you cry, But ohh, If I could turn back time. If I could find a way, I’d take back those words that have hurt you. If I could reach the stars, I’d give them all to you, Then you’d love me, love me, Like you used to do. If I could turn back time, (Turn back time.) If I could find a way, (Find a way.) Then maybe, maybe, maybe you’d stay. (If I could reach the stars…….)
