Donegal Gardaí have again called for motorists to slow down after two drivers were detected driving well in excess of the speed limit yesterday.
Letterkenny Roads Policing Unit arrested and charged one driver to appear in court after they were detected travelling at 160 Kph (99.4 Mph) in a 100 Kph (62 Mph) speed zone.
They also issued a Fixed Charge Penalty Notice to a driver who was detected travelling at 138 Kph in a 100 Kph zone.
Earlier this morning, Gardaí reiterated their appeal to people to be extra safe while on our roads.
Leading the appeal, a top Garda warned the public that driving is probably the most dangerous thing they will do with their day.
Superintendent Liam Geraghty urged passengers that do not feel safe to tell drivers to slow down, and warned drivers not to use their phones while driving.
As of Wednesday morning, there had been 124 fatalities on Irish roads so far this year, an increase of 24 compared with the same period in 2022 and 38 more than the same period in 2019.
Four of those have been on Donegal roads, the latest on Tuesday morning when a Derry man, Davey Doherty, died when his car crashed at Bridgend.
