File Photo of a Garda checkpoint
The Roads Policing Unit in Naas continues to detect speeding motorists despite Covid-19 measures meaning less vehicles on routes.
Kildare Gardaí are mounting daily patrols and checkpoints across Co Kildare to encourage compliance with 'stay at home' rules.
New laser speed gun devices - the TruCAM II can measure the speed of a vehicle over 1km away - so the gardaí may have clocked your speed before you even see them.
As you can see below, this motorist was detected driving at 128km/hr at a distance of nearly 250m away.
On Tuesday, Naas Roads Policing Unit (RPU) detected a car travelling on the N7 at 150kmh in a 100kmh zone.
Gardaí said: "Please slow down if you must drive during Government restrictions due to Covid-19.
"The roads are quieter so drive with in the speed limits and stay safe."
Naas RPU detected 10 motorists speeding on the M7 and M4 on Monday evening.
