An Garda Síochána, in partnership with the Road Safety Authority Ireland and other stakeholders, will carry out a 24-hour nationwide speed enforcement operation on Tuesday, 23rd December 2025 as part of National #SlowDown Day.
The initiative will run from 12:01am to 11:59pm on Tuesday, 23rd December 2025, aiming to promote safer driving and reduce speed-related collisions nationwide, coinciding with increased road use for Christmas holidays.
We are asking all drivers to support National Slow Down Day on Tuesday 25th December 2025. Let’s make our roads safer.
They won’t have any problems enforcing it in town and city centers. Traffic was chronic today. It was as if all the country were out shopping.

These announced days are bullshit, pleading with people not to break the law.
Let’s just go to town on law breaking motorists automatic, driving bans for mobile use etc

Maybe they could try enforcing the rules of the road. Twice last week I watched drivers blow through red lights while guards watched

Would be great to have a “breaking a red light” day instead.

Why do they tell everyone? Couldn’t they have national catch everyone day with the same effort, people might think twice for the rest of the year.

Why not “Drive the speed limit day”?

More needs to be done to address the blatant disregard for the road rules in Ireland. More roads policing is only a fraction of it. Here in Australia they introduce a period of “double demerits” from December 19th to January 4th, all penalty points are doubled during that period. They also do it every long weekend or where there are public holidays, where historically, drink driving and road deaths peak. Studies show it works and it is noticeable on the roads, people definitely slow down and are more conscious of the consequences.

Been at this for decades.
I’m way ahead of that game.
Or, to be accurate, way behind that game.
