Frustration at Irelandโ€™s failure to systematically adopt proven road-safety measures used across Europe has been expressed by @Marie_Casserly who is calling for urgent political leadership, accountability and evidence-based investment. More ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘ independent.ie/county/sligo/โ€ฆ

It this the idea? Is this the best we can do to protect our pedestrians?
Assistant Garda Commissioner Denis Ferry said "all pedestrians" including in urban areas should wear high visibility clothing. "I think you should do everything you can to ensure you're visible," he said. thejournal.ie/driving-phone-โ€ฆ

Exactly.
"What this says is you can drink drive a bit, you just check that you're under the limit... why would anybody need a breathalyser before they get in a car, unless they've been drinking and have their car keys in their pocket?" Anton questions the message the RSA is sending by putting breathalysers in hotels and pubs. The Road Safety Authority will spend โ‚ฌ1.5 million on putting breathalyser terminals in hotels and pubs around the country to allow motorists to check if they are over the limit before driving. 425,000 people have admitted to drink driving in the past year, with about 5,000 arrests made. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธDr Sheila Gilheany, CEO of Alcohol Action Ireland, joined us to talk about this latest move by the RSA, and the need for more enforcement.

Iโ€™m writing in todayโ€™s @irishexaminer about the urgent need for genuine accountability in seeking to save lives and reduce serious injuries on our roads. Without it, Vision Zero will remain a pipe dream, and the tragic loss of life will continue. irishexaminer.com/opinion/coโ€ฆ

A most welcome policy development in Northern Ireland, evidence based, and designed to save young lives. We urgently need to do the same here. @Dept_Transport @DarraghOBrienTD @RSAIreland #VisionZero
With Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) now launched, Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has outlined 5 things you need to know about GDL. GDL is the new road safety scheme designed to reduce the disproportionate involvement of new, primarily young, drivers in fatal and serious road traffic collisions. Watch our 5 pointers โฌ‡๏ธ @NIRoadPolicing @PoliceServiceNI @LizKimminsSF @NIFRSOFFICIAL @nidirect @NIAS999 @roadtozero @NI_LGA

Fresh from the talk given by @rovelocreative (Tom Flood) @tcddublin, and knowing that our local Councillors across the land are deciding on which roads in their bailiwicks will have 30 km/h limits set on them, I just wanted to remind them that now is the time to do

Peter Walker: โ€œyou will see contraptions that very much do not meet these criteria. They might look broadly like a bike, with pedals and a chain. But they are often throttle-powered and can travel much, much faster than 15mph. theguardian.com/commentisfreโ€ฆ These are not ebikes.

Replying to @GerHerbert1
Absolutely bonkers ๐Ÿคช He couldโ€™ve gone for policing the โ€˜illegalโ€™ ones (including points of sale from day 1 etc..) that is already in the legislation ..but instead lump โ€˜illegalโ€™ and legal ๐Ÿ›ด in together and add mandatory high viz & helmets.. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Make it make sense ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

FROM THIS FRIDAY, 4 September, it will be mandatory for e-scooter users to wear a helmet & high-viz clothing. This includes @boltapp e-scooters available in #wexford @wexfordcoco Is this a knee-jerk reaction to the failure to police illegal e-scooters? thejournal.ie/e-scooter-reguโ€ฆ
