Many rural Irish roads will see the speed limit reduced from tomorrow.
The Irish Road Haulage Association is calling for stricter enforcement of existing speed limits.
It comes following a move to reduce speed limits on rural roads from 80km/h to 60km/h from tomorrow.
Instead, the IRHA believes new drivers should be monitored with a black box for the duration of their N plates.
