Resources for Garda Traffic Corps - Road safety is a matter of life and death

WHEN it comes to fatalities on our roads, you can quote all the statistics in the world showing that driving in Ireland is comparatively safe but, for the families and loved ones left behind, one road death is one too many.

Already this week, in the space of 12 hours four people died on Irish roads. That is not just a statistic but a horrifying reality for those left to grieve and mourn.

It is not just deaths that cause devastation but also serious injury and the broken lives of people who have experienced the devastation of road traffic collisions, and survived, and must go on living.
