Gardaí have said that a 192km/hr speed detected in Donegal today “almost beggars belief”.
The detection was made by the Milford Roads Policing Unit during a speed check in the early hours of this morning.
The car was travelling almost twice the limit at 192km/h in a 100km/h speed zone.
The driver was arrested and charged to appear in court.
“Slow down. Speed kills,” said gardaí.
Gardaí today reported 18 arrests in Donegal for drink/drug driving over the past week. Thirteen of the arrests were for drink driving and the other five were for drug driving.
In one case, Letterkenny Roads Policing Unit detected a vehicle travelling at 130km/h in a speed zone of 60km/h in the early hours of Saturday morning. The driver failed to stop when signalled to do so and instead continued on at excessive speed. Gardaí stopped the vehicle a short time later and they arrested the driver on suspicion of drink driving. They also discovered that the driver was not insured. This driver has been charged to appear in court.
