Unmarked cars to crack down on dangerous driving

SPECIAL unmarked garda cars will be used next year to crack down on dangerous driving.

The cars will be equipped with inconspicuous flashing beacons in the grill and back tail lights that will be switched on when a rogue driver is spotted.

Assistant Garda Commissioner Eddie Rock said he ranked dangerous driving as one of the three major traffic offences - after drink-driving and before speeding.
