Gardaí to launch crackdown on ‘boy racers’

GARDAÍ are to launch a major crackdown on so-called “boy racers” in a bid to ease speeding on the roads and cut road deaths.

An Garda Siochána revealed it is to launch an initiative that will target tinted windows which might impair driver vision, and it will also look at taking noisy cars off the roads, including the possibility of bringing drivers before the courts.

The measures were unveiled in advance of the August Bank Holiday weekend, typically a bad time for road deaths among younger drivers.
