Motorists are being reminded of the dangers of speeding, as another National Slowdown Day gets underway.
Gardaí are also encouraging people to have conversation with family, friends and colleagues about the impact of speeding.
There have been 24 road deaths so far this year – a drop of 12 on the same time last year – but Gardaí say the number is still too high.
A dedicated speed enforcement operation will remain in place nationwide until 7am tomorrow.
Today, 26 February is our first National #SlowDown Day of 2025.
We are out every day detecting speed, and we are asking you to please slow down.
The aim of National Slow Down Days is to remind motorists of the dangers of speeding and encourage a national conversation on the impact of speeding.
The consequences of speeding can be devastating, not only for yourself but for other innocent people on the road. To date in 2025 there have been 24 fatalities on Irish roads.
During 2024, over 145,000+ Fixed Charge Notices were issued to drivers driving in excess of the speed limit.
The higher the speed the greater the impact if you have a Road Traffic Collision.
