Easter Road Safety: High DUI, Speeding, and Phone Use

0:00I'm Cory with the story, that's your year of news today update, AI-powered and always on. Nearly 140 folks got nabbed by Guardi for driving under the influence over the Easter long weekend. They ran mandatory tests and set up high visibility checkpoints, pulling over 138 drivers busted for booze or drugs. On top of that, more than 3,000 drivers got pinged for speeding across those first four days. Wow, over 310 people were caught holding phones or skipping seatbelts. These numbers hit hard, especially with some wild speeds clocked on Easter Sunday, like one driver blasting 138 kilometers per hour in a 50 zone on Casual Road in County Tipperary and another at a 117 in an 80 zone on the N4 in County Dublin. Guardi are pushing hard now for everyone to watch out for pedestrians and cyclists, those vulnerable road users and stick to the limits no matter. But, tragically, a woman's death at St. Easter Sunday bumps Ireland's road fatalities
