Is it time that we in Ireland introduced ‘safer driver’ courses?.A little refresher for drivers to help them drive more carefully?.Surely a good idea….@RSAIreland @GerHerbert1 @GardaTraffic.
M111CKO sees the driver in front safely pass the cyclist (+1.5m ) but decides the law doesn't apply to them. Masses of room in the opposite lane 🤷♀️.Police offered them a safer driver course so they could learn to drive more carefully. #Ilkley #CowAndCalf

Dear @RSAIreland .You know you’re losing the road safety battle when there’s an apparent need to add this sign to a road. 🤦♂️ . REMINDER: It is 💯 illegal to overtake on approach to this and EVERY OTHER JUNCTION!. Scant a la carte roads policing lead us to this point.

'Close pass' drivers offered education by police. 🏴 . Dear @GardaTraffic .🫵 need to step up to the road safety plate for bicycle riders 🙏.

Drivers caught passing too close to cyclists are offered education rather than prosecution.

.This latest 🚴♂️ fatality is now the 9th cyclist to die on ROI roads this year. This puts us 🇮🇪 ‘on track’ for pedal cyclist fatalities not seen since 2017. @RSAIreland & @GardaTraffic simply not stepping up to the challenge 😞.

A cyclist, who was in a critical condition following a road collision in Dublin late last month, has died in hospital.

Dear @RSAIreland @GardaTraffic .We have heard your usual bank holiday schpeel .When are we getting serious about the level of antisocial driving on our roads that can lead to so many deaths and serious injuries?. Less messaging and let’s Roll out 3rd party online reporting asap.
Local folk in @WestYorkshireCA are concerned about the consequences of bad driving and road danger, and so rather than moan, took action 👍🏻. Have a look at this short clip from @itvcalendar setting out how locals have helped to make our roads safer and highlight the seriousness

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death – POLITICO. Can Dublin do the same?. Can we do it with unmotivated @GardaTraffic when engineering solutions are rolled out at glacial pace?. Can we do it with often wishy washy politicians?.

The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

If you get caught by a speed van, you’re probably a special type of stupid 🤦♂️.
Nearly 28pc of drivers flash headlights to warn other drivers about speed vans, survey shows

We have a road safety strategy speaking out of both sides of its mouth!. Ciaran Cannon: Government is quietly but unmistakeably retreating from its commitment to road safety.
