'Operation Slow Down' gets underway in the morning
'Operation Slow Down' - an intensive national speed enforcement operation - is to get underway for a 24 hour period from tomorrow morning. Gardai are launching it along with the Road Safety Authority and other stakeholders. It's hoped the operation will remind drivers of the dangers of speeding and encourage them to comply with speed limits - therefore reducing the number of speed related crashes and ultimately lives. The operation will get underway at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning for 24 hours and will see increased Gardaí, speed cameras and speed vans on national primary and secondary roads around the country. Chief Superintendent Mark Curran from the Garda National Traffic Bureau says road users need to be aware of speed limits. Click the PLAY button above to hear.
