Motorists are being urged to slow down and stay safe while driving.
The call comes as Gardai confirm 82 people have died on Irish roads in 2022 so far, with the latest fatal collision occurring on Friday June 17 in Co Laois.
In a post on social media, An Garda Síochána stated: "It is essential that all road users exercise caution and please stay safe when driving. Don't become another statistic."
Cavan Roads Policing were conducting speed checks across the county recently when they detected a motorist driving almost twice the legal speed limit. This driver was stopped, arrested & charged with dangerous driving. Court to follow.
