@GardaTraffic So it’s only one day of checking? You conducted more travel checks during Covid. Why can’t you do the same this time?

@GardaTraffic Unfortunately, the vehicles doing 65kph in a 100kph zone are just as dangerous on the roads. The standard of driving on Irish roads is dreadful in my humble opinion

@GardaTraffic Why isn’t every day a slow down day? This is more of the same…Kenmare to Dublin recently..not one Garda car or checkpoint

@GardaTraffic It's the regional roads that need looked at . 80km on backroads is too fast

@GardaTraffic So that's 0.3% of drivers speeding. Listening to the radio this morning you'd think it was like Grand Theft Auto out there.

@GardaTraffic Why is this all about speeding? Bad driving, mobile phone use, sitting in the middle lane of the M50 or the N7 doing 65km per hour etc etc etc.Start targeting these as well please.

@GardaTraffic Okay lads now it’s a piss take that the PR section has come back off their holidays. A rush to spend the 10million in ot 😀

@GardaTraffic Wouldn't it make more sense to have permanent cameras in place that catch speeding motorists 24 hours a day, every day. Why aren't there more average speed camera locations?

@GardaTraffic Why is a gosafe van on the garda Twitter page? This is a private money-making company, and it makes people think that gosafe vans are operated by Guards, when they aren't.

@GardaTraffic There’s a SERIOUS lack of imagination when it comes to the location of these speed vans. They’re not in black spots for accidents, they’re not on dangerous corners, they on straight patches of the road. I don’t get it..

@GardaTraffic Gatso vans be like

@GardaTraffic I suggest to concentrate on black spots and more rural roads and of course everyone should obey the speed limits and imagine there’s more accident prone areas than a straight stretch on a motorway or dual carriageway?

@GardaTraffic Don’t forget to do some checks on roads with lower speed limits e.g. 80, 60, 50 and 30 km/h roads.

@GardaTraffic Giving only fines . Great day for an easy revenue generation for the state,already draining humongous taxes from the public.

@GardaTraffic 0.3% detection rate. But then again, when you give people the heads up that you’ll be out and about, what do you expect??

@GardaTraffic Why is a picture of GoSafe van shown? Not operated by Gardai.

@GardaTraffic Any chance of checking some in a 50km/h zone?

@GardaTraffic And will anything change ? Not until a half decent fine system is implemented. €1000 fine for the 1st offence. No appeal - whatsoever. And €5000 fine for the 2nd offence if it is less than 2 years since the 1st. No appeal either. The Courts system will have to be taken out!
