Speeding Surge and Tragedy on Irish Roads | Ireland News

Gardaí smashed speed records and cracked down on dangerous driving during the August bank holiday weekend, nabbing over 2,700 speeding drivers—including one clocking 126 km/h in a 100 km/h zone—and arresting 270 for drink or drug driving. Tragically, two more lives were lost in collisions on Sunday, pushing this year’s road deaths to 110. Other shocking stats: 310 caught texting or unbuckled, and a driver hit 101 km/h in a 60 km/h zone. The message is clear—slow down, stay sober, and put phones away to get home safely.
