Reckless speeding the cause of increasing road accidents in Kildare

Paul O'Meara, 14 Jun

Existing technology should be brought to bear on speeding motorists,

according to a Kildare politician.

Newbridge councillor Noel Heavey said there is a rise in the number of

vehicles using the roads and a “perceived increase in accidents due to

reckless speeding on our roads.”

He asked Kildare County Council to request the Joint Policing

Committee, a forum with representatives of the KCC, the gardaí and

councillors, to examine how technology can be used to tackle speeding.

But KCC official Marian Higgins said this is a matter for the gardaí.

She also said the enforcement of speed limits is the responsibility of

the gardaí.
