“Speed kills and so we continue to urge all drivers to slow down,” An Garda Síochána Donegal said. “Weather conditions have been very poor lately and most road surfaces are wet/possibly slippery as a result. We are all vulnerable on the roads. Nobody is invincible. Save lives. Slow down. Never use/hold your mobile phone while driving.”
