This is just dangerous.

The Gardaí were out in force on Christmas Day, stopping 10 motorists for drink-driving, and seizing several vehicles being operated illegally.

Another post on the official An Garda Síochána Twitter page reveals that one motorist in Limerick was stopped going at a truly frightening speed.

According to the speed camera, the driver was recorded going at 192km per hour, virtually double the speed limit of 100km per hour on that road.

The tweet read: “Limerick Roads Policing Unit: Christmas speed detection operation yesterday 25/12/18 on the N18. One driver detected at 192km/h in 100km/h zone. Court appearance to follow.”
