PICS: Gardai release locations where they’ve caught speeding motorists on National Slow Down Day

Slow down, folks.

National Slow Down Day, an annual operation aimed at reducing the number of speed-related collisions, saving lives and reducing injuries on Irish roads, came into effect at 7am on Friday morning. The Gardai had confirmed in advance that there would be high visibility speed enforcement activities to include all 1,031 speed enforcement zones across the country, as well as the delivery of a road safety message through the use of national, local and social media. The Gardai have been issuing updates about the progress of the operation on Twitter this morning, with GoSafe speed vans and Garda checkpoints set up at locations such as Stillorgan, Tullamore, Castleblaney, Adare and Mortarstown in Carlow. https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/736096062016884736 https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/736099232835207168 https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/736114828713074689 https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/736116482330001408 https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/736117375943254017 https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/736123235046154240 25 vehicles had already been caught speeding before 10am on Friday morning, a figure that is likely to increase significantly before the operation concludes at 7am on Saturday.
