Only 0.15% of all people checked were speeding, a big reduction on last year, seems like a positive trend to me.
Speeding has always been used as the reason for accidents but distracted driving rarely gets a mention these days.
Speeding laws are a joke in Ireland. Overhaul is needed. Why is it the same punishment for being 10km/h over on an urban area and a motorway. One should result in a larger fine and a ban. The other a smaller fine.
National slow down day seems to be at least every other month
60 in 50 zone. Wow. Criminals.
This is the first I heard of a Slow Down day.
Where is it advertised? Do the cops do much else except man speed cameras?
Got to buff up the government surplus with that sweet road traffic money
That was great lads, now back to not enforcing the law every other day of the year!
Could use a national ‘Stop Breaking Red Lights You Stupid Cunts’ day.
… and several thousand not detected I am sure.
Sorry Gard. I thought today was Opposite Day. I must have been looking at last years calendar.
211 absolute knuckle-draggers.
Yeah but maybe they’d normally drive even faster!!
How about we automate this every day rather than one day and then maybe our police could…. ya know… Police?
With all the modern tech in cars these days I cannot for the life of me figure out how a device hasn’t been invented that monitors the legal speed limit and then restricts the cars to that limit.
You drive into a 60kmh zone, the car car detects this and doesn’t go above 60kmh.
Would it be that hard to do?
Its probably harder to speed when you a sending a text!!!
