Driver caught traveling at high speed on Waterford by-pass

A driver has been caught travelling well in excess of the speed limit on the N25 Waterford By Pass, with a fine imposed.

Gardaí from the Waterford Roads Policing Unit were conducting speed checks on N25 Waterford By Pass when they detected the driver travelling at 155kph in a 100kph zone.

They were stopped and the driver received a €160 fine.

Increased fines came in for road traffic offences in the past month, meaning the speeding driver faces double the fine they would have received earlier in October. 

The increased fines came into effect on October 27, doubling the fine from €80 to €160.
