Today, 25th May, is National 'Slow Down Day'.
The operation started at 7am Friday morning and will continue until 7am Saturday morning.
Since this morning, An Garda Síochána and GoSafe have checked the speed of 9,818 vehicles and 26 vehicles were detected travelling in excess of the applicable speed limit.
The aim of 'Slow Down day' is to remind drivers of the dangers of speeding, increase compliance with speed limits and act as a deterrent to driving at excessive or inappropriate speed.
The objective is to reduce the number of speed related collisions, save lives and reduce injuries on our roads. The vast majority of drivers are safe and are complying with the speed limit, with a compliance rate of 99.7%.
