Gardaí are carrying out a 24 hour road safety operation for National Slow Down Day across Ireland today.
The operation began this morning and will continue until midnight on Monday. It aims to promote safer driving and reduce speed-related collisions nationwide, coinciding with the first full week of schools reopening across the country.
By 11am this morning, 134 drivers were detected speeding by Gardaí, static Speed Cameras, or GoSafe mobile camera vans.
Among those was one driver caught doing 65km/h in a 50km/h zone in Galway City.
An Garda Síochána conducts several high-profile National #SlowDown Days each year, aimed at raising awareness about the dangers of speeding.
These operations serve to remind motorists of the serious risks associated with excessive or inappropriate speed, promote greater compliance with speed limits and support efforts to deter and detect dangerous driving behaviours.
