Naas Traffic Corps arrest man after catching him breaking speed limit by a massive 116kmh

Many people get upset when they are issued with penalty points for an offence such as driving at 55kmh in a 50kmh zone, while plenty of people argue that many of the roads around Kildare that are restricted to 80kmh are more than capable of catering for traffic driving at 100kmh.

Then there are roads such as the N7, with three lanes and enough space that some feel the speed limit should be that of a motorway. Even if that came to pass, this driver who was caught by a speed camera on the N7 today would have still obliterated the limit.

The motorist in question was clocked at a whopping 216kmh, the equivalent of around 134mph. Gardaí stopped the car and arrested the man for dangerous driving. They also discovered that the man had no insurance on the vehicle, and the black Audi was then seized.

This motorist can have no complaints about landing a large number of penalty points for such reckless driving.
