A short time later another driver who was also dropping a passenger home was stopped after they were caught speeding at 145KPH at the same location.

Both drivers were fined €80 and 3 penalty points.

Gardai are urging motorists to slow down and remain aware of the speed at which you are travelling at all times.

Gardai are urging passengers travelling in a car which is not being driven in a safe manner, to not be afraid to ask them to stop and let you out of the car.
