Rural roads account for four fifths of fatalities.
A number of midlands motorists have been caught speeding ahead of National Slow Down Day tomorrow.
Gardaí and the Road Safety Authority are urging drivers to reduce their speed and be mindful of vulnerable road users as part of the campaign.
The operation will focus on the following points:
• Drivers speeding on rural roads to be targeted as 4 out of 5 fatalities occurred on rural roads in 2021
• Road users urged to take extra care over October Bank Holiday as clocks go back
• 64 people have been killed or seriously injured in October Bank Holiday collisions between 2016-2020
• 113 people killed on Irish roads so far this year as a result of 102 fatal collisions
