GALWAY DRIVERS CONTINUE TO FLOUT THE LAW

Date Published: 29-Jan-2008

Galway motorists haven’t changed their attitudes towards driving and are still flouting the law.

That’s according to Inspector Derek Gannon of Galway Traffic Corps who mounted a two day enforcement campaign in the city last Thursday and Friday.

150 motorists were caught using hand-held mobile phones while driving and another hundred used roundabouts illegally, broke red lights and crossed continuous white lines.

Another fifty motorists used bus lanes illegally.

But the most shocking finding was the number of parents who hadn’t buckled up their children.

Meanwhile Inspector Gannon also had this warning for boy-racers attending this weekend’s Galway International Rally without the required tax or insurance.
