A garda spokesperson said of the campaign: “This campaign is about one simple message: Slow Down. Save Lives.
“Speeding reduces your reaction time, increases stopping distance, and makes collisions more severe.
-
Obey the speed limits
-
Adjust your speed for weather and road conditions
-
Be mindful of pedestrians, cyclists and other road users
-
Allow extra time for your journey
“Let’s work together to keep our roads safe across Kildare and Carlow.
A few seconds saved is never worth a life lost."
