Multiple drivers caught breaking speed limit in this Kildare town

Kildare Carlow Roads Policing Unit (KC-RPU) carried out speed checks on the R449 at Easton, Leixlip, where the speed limit is 60km/h.

Three drivers were detected travelling at 81km/h, 82km/h and 83km/h.

All three drivers received a Fixed Charge Penalty Notice (€160) and three penalty points.

A garda spokesperson stated: “That extra speed saves you very little time but increases the risk of a serious collision considerably. Slow down. Speed kills. 60 means 60.

“Remember, KC-RPU can't be everywhere, but we could be anywhere!”
