An Garda Siochána have asked children to name their newest member of the team for National Slow Down Day.
Schoolchildren are being asked to participate by submitting name suggestions for their newest member or to create a poster, song or poem to highlight the dangers of speeding.
All entries should be submitted by emailing slowdownday@garda.ie (with the help of mammy or daddy), the closing date is October 31.
The pupil with the best entry will win a visit from the Garda Band to their school and some entries will be featured on Garda social media platforms.
Slow Down Day will run from 7am on Friday until 7am on Saturday, and consist of high-visibility Garda activities in all 1,031 speed enforcement zones. Updates will be available throughout the day using #slowdownday.
"The aim of the Slow Down initiative is to remind all drivers of the dangers of speeding, to comply with speed limits and to deter driving at excessive speeds."
