The driver in Leitrim was caught speeding during the first five hours of ‘National Slow Down Day’
A driver in Leitrim has been nabbed by gardaí travelling way over the speed limit during the first five hours of the national speeding campaign.
The driver was caught doing 94km/h in a 60km/h Zone on the N4 at Drishoge, on the Carrick-On-Shannon to Roscommon road.
In the first five hours of ‘National Slow Down Day’, GoSafe checked the speeds of 37,777 vehicles, and detected 68 vehicles travelling in excess of the applicable speed limit.
These figures are based on GoSafe detections only. A garda spokesperson said they will be higher with An Garda Síochána personnel detections, which are not available at the moment.
"An Garda Síochána would like to thank drivers for their compliance during the first two hours of ‘National Slow Down Day’, making Irish roads safer for all road users.
"We continue to appeal to drivers to comply with speed limits in order to reduce the number of speed related collisions, save lives and reduce injuries on our roads," the spokesperson said.
