Longford Gardaí clock driver speeding at 121km/h on 50km/h road before drink driving arrest
Longford Roads Policing Unit stopped a motorist allegedly travelling at 121km/h in a 50km/h area before a failed breath test then led to a drink driving arrest.
A motorist is due to appear before the courts after allegedly being found travelling at more than twice the speed limit before failing a roadside breath test.
Longford Roads Policing Unit (RPU) said the incident occurred last week while Gardaí were carrying out a routine patrol.
Gardaí stopped the vehicle after it was detected travelling at 121km/h in a built-up 50km/h zone.
The driver subsequently failed a roadside breath test and was arrested on suspicion of drink driving.
Following the arrest, Gardaí say, it was then discovered the driver was over the limit for drink driving.
They are now before the courts for a number of offences.
