Shlow down.

A man in Kerry was caught speeding four times in a month on the same stretch of road outside of Killarney.

According to the Irish Examiner, the speed van, which was parked in a 60 km/h zone, caught the man doing 89km/hr on April 1, 74km/h on April 13, 70km/h on April 16 and 71km/h on April 19.

The man received notices for his offences on consecutive days but didn’t realise he got them because he’d moved address from Killarney to Dingle.

He told the court he was responsible for the first two speeding charges but the car was in the garage while the second two offences occurred so the mechanic may have been driving.

The judge convicted him on the first offence and adjourned the other three until November 2016. He was fined €125.

Four times on the same road. Sickening.
