Drivers at risk on bank holiday Friday

Seán McCárthaigh

One of Ireland’s biggest motor insurance companies, Hibernian Insurance has revealed that the number of insurance claims increases significantly in relation to accidents that occur on bank holiday Fridays.

The data comes as gardaí launch a road safety campaign this weekend, which will target motorists leaving pubs and nightclubs for drink-driving offences. Five people were killed and 94 injured in road traffic accidents this time last year.
