Over 1,200 Drivers Caught Speeding On Irish Roads Since Thursday.

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.
