A driver in Wexford has been caught going 67km/h over the speed limit…
The driver, who was driving on a provisional license, was detected going 147km/h in a 80km/h zone in North Wexford. It occurred on Monday night outside of Gorey.
An Garda Síochána in Wexford released a statement on Tuesday morning:
“Gorey Roads Policing Unit detected this vehicle travelling 67km/h over the posted speed limit at Scarnagh, Gorey lastnight.
A collision with this car could have caused injuries incompatible with life, driven by a driver who is not qualified to drive unaccompanied, yet made the decision to drive 67km/h faster than the speed limit.
This occurred at a time when families were on their way home from a busy bank holiday Monday, just in time to put young kids to bed.”
They stated that the car has since been seized and that prosecution will now follow.
