Síochána Detected Was The Garda The Speed Travelling Tarbert At In Limit Double Car Picture: Almost
Gardaí in North Kerry have issued a road safety plea after a car was identified travelling at a speed of 103km/h in a 50km/h zone.
The car was detected travelling at over double the speed limit in Tarbert, Co Kerry.
Following the speeding incident, gardaí said: "We cannot emphasise enough how important it is to drive safely and within the speed limits no matter the time day/night."
It comes as three motorcyclists were killed in separate crashes in Cork in the last four days while a cyclist was also killed in Dublin on Wednesday. Another motorcyclist was killed in a collision in Carlow.
The deaths have sparked calls for tougher sanctions to bring back the "fear of penalty points".
In a separate incident, also in Tarbert, a car was seized by gardaí after the tax was found to be out of date by almost three and a half years — "1,301 days to be exact," gardaí said.
The vehicle was seized and taken off the road.
"Please help us to keep people safe on the road by allowing plenty of time to travel to your destination, reduce your speed, and having your car serviced/tested when required," gardaí said.
