Two Kilkenny drivers caught by gardaí misbehaving on local roads

The incidents took place in Cuffesgrange and Ballyragget

Kilkenny gardaí stopped the driver of a vehicle who overtook a jeep and trailer on the N76 in Cuffesgrange, a collision prone location, on Tuesday morning.

A fixed charge notice with a fine and penalty points were issued.

"Head on collisions result from poor Overtaking Choices," a garda spokesperson said.

Meanwhile, the Kilkenny Roads Policing of An Garda Síochana were out and about in North Kilkenny last week and issued a Fixed Charge to one motorist texting as they drove in Johnstown while a driver in Ballyragget thought 76km/h in a 50km/h zone.
