Revised rules of road for every home

EVERY household in Ireland will be sent a free copy of the revised rules of the road.

The delivery of the expanded motoring manual to 1.7 million homes is expected to cost millions of euro. The bill will be footed by the insurance industry.

The 228-page manual was launched by the Transport Minister, gardaí and road safety chiefs in Dublin yesterday — 12 years since the last drivers’ guide was drawn up.
