Traffic

On this month’s traffic segment Garda Derek Cloughley was in studio to outline where we stand today in terms of road safety, nearly half way through the year. He further discussed the high risk summer period ahead, in particular reflecting back to July 2016 when 21 people lost their life on our roads, the highest number of any month in 5 years – and how not to repeat it.

As another pedal cyclist loses their life, this brings to 10 the number of cyclists fatally injured in 2017, equalling the total number of cycling fatalities in 2016.

Garda Cloughley also looked at one of the most dangerous activities on our roads – driving under the influence, and we looked at how An Garda Síochána have been targeting these drivers since last year.
