Analysis of almost 39,000 speeding offences see almost half of all cases end without a conviction.
Almost one-in-two speeding cases between 2021 and 2024 failed to proceed.
In one Co Meath court, over two-thirds of speeding cases were withdrawn, struck out or dismissed within a year.
Campaigners warn swift enforcement and sanctions “critical” to deterring dangerous driver behaviour.
