Too many killed and maimed on our roads

In 1972 when there were far fewer cars on Ireland’s roads 640 people were killed in traffic accidents.

One hundred and sixty five were killed in 2012 on our roads.

So far this year there have been 94 deaths on our roads and 674 serious injuries. This is a rise of 42 per cent in the number of fatalities compared to the same period last year.

The moral of the story is we all need to behave more carefully on our roads. And certainly no handheld phones while driving.
