One driver was doing 196km per hour on a 100km per hour road
More than 200 drivers have been caught speeding on Irish roads since Thursday morning, with one detected travelling at 196km per hour on a national road in Co Cavan, as part of an enhanced roads policing operation.
A Garda spokeswoman said it was “positive” that the majority of motorists have been recorded as travelling within the designated speed, but 211 were found travelling above the speed limit with some of the driver behaviours described as particularly dangerous. “Our August Bank Holiday roads policing operation has been under way since first thing yesterday morning and while we are generally seeing good levels of compliance with speed limits on roads around Ireland, I am gravely concerned by the risks taken by some drivers,” said Chief Superintendent Jane Humphries of the Garda National Roads Policing Bureau.
