The device ready for the next vehicle
Gardaí have begun using a small hand-held speed detector which is around the size of a mobile phone.

Gardaí based in several divisions including in Kildare have been given special training on the equipment.
It weighs less than 500 grams and its battery provides 12 hours of operation time
It's lightweight design is engineered for comfortable, hand-held use over long periods of time.
The piece of kit is manufactured by US firm Laser Technology Inc which has an Irish base in Kildare town.
