A MOTORCYCLIST who was caught travelling almost 100kph above the speed limit faces prosecution for dangerous driving.
Details of the incident which happened on the M20 motorway over the weekend have been posted on the official @gardatraffic Twitter account.
“Motorcycle detected on Patrickswell Motorway doing 218kph!!! Driver arrested for dangerous driving” reads the tweet which was posted this Monday morning.
A photograph of the offending vehicle suggests the offence was detected on the northbound lane of the motorway at the Patrickswell exit – close to where a three year old girl died in an accident last month.
