A driver was caught speeding every four minutes over the bank holiday weekend.
A road safety campaign running this weekend also caught 169 people driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
71 people have died on the roads already this year, 15 more than the same time last year.
11 people have died on Cork roads so far this year.
The RSA's David Martin says driver distraction is another huge problem:
"We're advising people to put the phone away don't use don't use a phone while you're driving. Obviously alcohol drugs and speeding is remain big issues as well. But distracted driving use of mobile phones is remains far too prevalent."
