Reporter: );
Gardaí detected a motorist speeding through a town in Offaly this morning.
During the first two hours of National Slow Down Day, An Garda Síochána and GoSafe checked the speed of 23,275 vehicles and detected 128 vehicles travelling in excess of the applicable speed limit, including one in Offaly.
The motorist was clocked travelling at 70km/h in a 50km/h Zone on the N52 at Ballycollin Lower, Kilcormac.
An Garda Síochána continues to appeal to drivers to increase compliance with speed limits in order to reduce the number of speed-related collisions, save lives and reduce injuries on our roads.
Gardai will be cracking down on speeding today by asking motorists to ‘slow down’.
Operation ‘National Slow Down Day’ began at 7am on Friday morning and will run until 7am on Saturday.
Within the first two hours, a motorist was caught doing 97km/h in a 50km/h Zone on the R680 Cork Road Waterford.
Gardai will be out in force to remind drivers of the dangers of speeding, as part of the force’s Christmas Campaign to improve road safety.
10 more people have been killed on the roads this year compared to 2019. Last year there were 140 road deaths.
Inspector Niall Daly is the Roads policing inspector with the Waterford division. He says the higher the speed, the greater the likelihood is of a crash happening:
