Gardaí branded a tourist in the Midlands who they said was doing 180kph as ‘The Fast and the Clueless’.
The motorist was stopped on the M7 motorway in Laois which has a 120kph limit.
“The Fast and the Clueless,” Gardaí wrote in a social media post.
They said “Laois RPU (Roads Policing Unit) stopped a tourist driving rental vehicle at 180kph on the M7 earlier today. GPS said “arrive in 1 hour,” but they aimed for 20 minutes....,” they wrote.
“Welcome to Ireland. Speed limits still apply,” Gardaí added.
They said the driver was arrested and charged to appear before a sitting of Portlaoise District Court.
