A driver attitude and behaviour study that questioned a 1,000 motorists has shown that 40 percent of Irish drivers say speeding over the 100kmh speed limit is acceptable.
The research by the Road Safety Authority - a state agency formed by the Irish Government to promote road safety - also says that over 30 percent admit to only driving more slowly when they see speed cameras and almost 20 percent of drivers are classed as "high-speeding rule violators" in the report.
