Members of the public have reacted to the tweet posted to Twitter/X by An Garda Síochána with one person saying: "Need better deterrents. Serious speedsters should have S sticker fixed to their windscreens-warns motorists they have speeding ticket-also alerts police to certain vehicles.
"Amazing if they could be monitored/app/device track on a database forced 5km/h slower than posted speeds"
