A driver has been caught travelling at over twice the posted speed limit in Co. Donegal.

The detection was made by a GoSafe Camera Van on the N15 near Ballintra where the car was measured at 223km/h

This makes it the highest detection by GoSafe van so far this year.

The detection comes ahead of National Slow Down Day 2019, an initiative aimed at reminding drivers of the dangers of speeding, increase compliance with speed limits, and act as a deterrent to driving at excessive or inappropriate speed.

So far in 2019, 117 road fatalities have been recorded, 5 more than 2018.

National Slow Down Day gets underway at 7am tomorrow (Friday) morning and runs until 7am on Saturday.
