Gardaí in the Buncrana District detected 24 motorists breaking the speed limit over the past 24 hours.

Three of the drivers were recorded travelling at high speeds of 130km/hr, 128 km/hr and 122 km/hr.

National Slow Down Day took place in Ireland between 7am Friday 11th to 7am Saturday 12th December, 2020.

In total, An Garda Síochána and GoSafe checked 186,125 vehicles and detected 892 vehicles travelling in excess of the applicable speed limit.

One notable detection in Donegal involved a driver speeding at 125km/h in a 100km/h Zone on the R238 road at Elaghbeg, Burnfoot.

Gardaí in Donegal took to Facebook today to remind the public that speed kills.

“Gardaí and the RSA continue to appeal to drivers to increase compliance with speed limits in order to reduce the number of speed related collisions, save lives and reduce injuries on our roads,” a spokesperson said.
