Kildare gardaí detected a motorist travelling at 134 km/h in an 80 km/h zone during a recent speed check, prompting a fellow road user to commend the enforcement. 

The vehicle was stopped safely by Gardaí and, while officers were dealing with the driver, a passing motorist pulled over briefly and said: “He deserved that."

Gardaí used the incident to remind drivers that driving at excessive speeds is a deliberate choice that significantly increases the risk to all road users, including families, cyclists, pedestrians, and fellow motorists.

“Public roads are not a race track,” said a garda spokesperson.

"If you want to test your driving skills, book a session at the race track, not the roads shared with families, cyclists and other motorists." 

As a result of the offence, the driver was issued with a €160 Fixed Charge Notice and received three penalty points.

Kildare gardaí said: “Slow down. Arrive alive and please save the racing for the track.”
