A driver has been detected doing 112km/h in a 50km/h Zone on the Main Street in Charleville this National Slow Down Day
In the first five hours of the operation , GoSafe checked the speeds of 41,630 vehicles, and detected 81 travelling in excess of the applicable speed limit
There'll be a high visibility of Gardaí monitoring speed enforcement on roads across the country until seven o'clock tomorrow morning.
Joan Swift from the 'Love 30' campaign says a 30 kilometre per hour speed limit in built up areas brings about a calmer environment:
"The driving experience is so different because you're not stressed and you're not tearing up and then screeching to a halt, you're driving at an even pace and you just have time to react. I mean people think that speeding doesn't matter and that I'm a careful driver and and so on"
