Engineers should do what they’re paid to do - look after the roads

I would like to reply to comments ( Irish Examiner, August 25) relating to motorcycle deaths made by Donal Buckley on behalf of road transport engineers

He made the following statement: “A sustained national road safety campaign specifically targeting motorcyclists is absolutely necessary to alert those involved regarding the dangers of speed and the nature of unlit rural secondary roads.

“Motorcycles should always be driven with dipped headlights on at all times. They should also be subjected to have a logbook with an up-to-date service history and an NCT type of inspection of their machine.”
