The dangers of speeding are being highlighted by Gardaú for their latest slow down day.
Aim is to remind motorists about the impact travelling at speed can have and to increase overall compliance with limits.
24 people have already lost their lives on Irish roads this year including some locally.
Divisional Roads Policing Inspector Paul Donohoe says; “If people realised the devastation the families go through after a road death, people don’t have a clue, it changes a family’s life, it changes everyone’s lives around them and people that know them, pure devastation when someone loses their life on a road for a family and all we’re asking people to do is drive within the speed limits that you’re in and drive carefully so people need to be conscious of that, you know”.
He warns; “It can happen in a split second, you take your eye off the road, look down at your phone or drive at excessive speeds, you don’t know what’s going to come out in front of you at any minute of the day so you have to drive within the speed limit to keep yourself and everyone else around you safe”.
