Poorly-fitted windscreens ‘can be deadly’

The safety of up to 89,000 cars on Irish roads may be "critically compromised" due to poorly-fitted windscreens.

The findings were highlighted at a discussion on the dangers of travelling in unsafe vehicles due to poor windscreen fittings held by the Ireland Munster Centre (IRM) as part of their contribution to road safety at the Silver Springs Hotel, Cork, last night.

IRM is a local branch of the Institute of Road Transport Engineers that promotes road transport engineering in the Munster region.
