Gardaí warn: don’t expect a break if you break metric speed limits

GARDAÍ have warned motorists that there will be no amnesty for those caught speeding when limits are changed to kilometres later this month.

Deputy Garda Commissioner Fachtna Murphy said gardaí would be enforcing the new limits “with immediate effect” from January 20.

Speaking at the launch of a €2.5 million campaign to raise public awareness of the changeover in Dublin yesterday, Commissioner Murphy said motorists had ample opportunity to familiarise themselves with the new limits before the changeover.
