Letterkenny Gardaí caught two drivers breaking the speed limit along the N13 at a checkpoint this week.
The Traffic Unit set up a speed check on the Letterkenny to Derry road, which is a 100km/h zone.
One driver was caught going 136km/h, with another motorist travelling at 127km/h.
The drivers were each given three penalty points and €80 fines.
According to the Road Safety Authority, over 1 in 3 (32%) of fatal collisions were cited as having excessive speed for the road and conditions as a contributory factor to the collision.
This may not have been the sole cause of the collision but contributed in either full or part to the final outcome, the RSA says. Of this number, 19% cited excessive speed as the sole contributory factor.
