Gardaí confirmed that the driver was arrested and charged and will appear in court "soon". https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/1039035389128916993 The Gardaí revealed that ongoing checkpoints carried out by the Naas Road Policing Unit also found one driver to be going 153km in a 60km zone. https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/1038762931960401920
