Garda Speeding Crackdown Hits 1,590 | Cork News

Gardaí smashed records over the August bank holiday weekend, nabbing 1,590 speeding drivers in just two days — including one jaw-dropping case of a driver hitting 172 km/h in a 120 km/h zone on the M1. The crackdown also led to 39 arrests for drink or drug driving, plus 200 caught texting or not wearing seatbelts. While no fatalities occurred during the operation’s first two days (with 108 recorded so far this year), authorities are hammering home the “lifesaver” message: slow down, stay sober, put your phone down, and buckle up — because every choice matters when it comes to getting everyone home safe.
