A driver in Waterford has been detected speeding in the first two hours of the national garda 'Slowdown Day'
The driver was clocked doing 116km/h in a 100km/h Zone on the N25 Kildermody Kilmeaden Waterford road early on Friday morning.
In the first 2 hours of the 24 hour National Slow Down Day, GoSafe checked the speed of 19,246 vehicles and detected 153 vehicles travelling in excess of the applicable speed limit.
This initiative highlights the dangers of speeding with an aim of increasing compliance with speed limits, deterring motorists from driving at excessive or inappropriate speed.
Ultimately, the undertaking aims to reduce the number of serious road traffic collisions this Christmas and New Year period in particular.
To date, 156 people have lost their lives on Irish roads this year. An increase of 28 more than on this day last year.
Gardaí say there has been some 1,172 serious collisions resulting in injury, often life altering.
