Operation Slow Down highlights safer road use

Just 154 out of the 75,000 motorists monitored were pulled over for speeding during the Garda Operation Slow Down last weekend.

Gardaí said although it was too early to have the full picture on what was learned from the operation, it was clear to those involved that a change in the driving habits of the public was evident.

According to the data gathered, more than 75,000 vehicles were monitored by the GoSafe safety camera vans over the 24-hour period. Out of this number, 154 motorists were detected speeding.
