Irish drivers ‘not used to motorways’

IRISH drivers are not used to motorways and will have to learn how to drive safely on them, according to the National Roads Authority (NRA).

The NRA were speaking after a jury at the inquest into the death of 24-year-old Kate Moyles ruled earlier this week that the mother of one had died accidentally.

Her car collided with a fire engine on the M7 during thick fog. No skid marks were found at the scene which, gardaí said, meant she was not aware that the fire engine was ahead.
