'Simply not acceptable' - Kildare gardaí slam speeding motorists
Two motorists caught speeding on the L2019, Porterstown, Kill recently
Naas Roads Policing Unit have slammed as “simply not acceptable” two incidents of excessive speeding on Kildare's roads.
Kildare gardaí conducted a speed check on the L2019, Porterstown, Kill recently.
Two drivers were detected travelling at excessive speeds in a 60km/h zone.
One motorist was travelling at 96km/h in a 60km/h zone, while the other motorist was travelling at 88km/h.
Both drivers have now been issued with Fixed Charge Penalty Notices (€160) and three penalty points.
A garda spokesperson said: “Let’s be clear: Speeding is not just a number on a dashboard - it’s a decision that puts lives at risk. Yours, your passengers’, and every other road user around you.
“A moment of impatience can have lifelong consequences.
“60km/h means 60km/h, not 70, not 80, not 'just this once.'
“We will continue to carry out enforcement across Kildare. If you choose to speed, expect to be caught. #NaasRPU.”
