Vehicle in Kildare travelling at 90km/h in 60km/h zone
The vehicle was detected by Naas Roads Policing Unit during a speed check held in Christianstown
While operating a speed check on a local road in Christianstown, Co Kildare recently, members of the Naas Roads Policing Unit detected a vehicle travelling at 90km/h in a 60km/h zone – 50% over the speed limit.
A Fixed Charge Penalty Notice (€160) and three penalty points were issued to the driver of the vehicle.
A statement issued by An Garda Síochána Kildare read: “Speed limits are not suggestions. They are there to protect:
-
Children walking and cycling
-
Pedestrians crossing local roads
-
Other road users
-
Families in our community
“Driving at 90km/h in a 60km/h zone dramatically reduces your ability to react and significantly increases the severity of any collision. One poor decision can change lives forever.
Please slow down.
