Gardaí hope technology will reduce number of ‘boy racers’

GARDAÍ hope that new technology aimed at reducing the number of “boy racers” on the country’s roads will be in place by the early part of next year.

The force has gone to tender on noise detectors that will gauge the level of noise coming from a car exhaust.

The gardaí have also sought tenders for equipment to test the level of tint on car windows, amid concerns that some cars with blacked out windows cause driver impairment.
