Midlands drivers were caught breaking the speed limit.
More than 1,200 drivers were caught speeding during yesterday's National Slow Down Day.
Gardaí say it's disappointing, as the total number is an increase on recent 24-hour operations.
Among the motorists detected speeding was a driver doing 110km/h in an 80 zone in Portlaoise, and another in Westmeath travelling at 134kms/h in a 100 zone on the N4 in Mullingar.
Roads Policing Inspector Paul Donohoe, says the outcome is worrying:
