JULY THE DEADLIEST MONTH!

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) is warning road users that July is the most lethal month of the year to use Ireland’s roads. In the ten year period 1999 to 2008 a total of 376 lives have been lost during the month of July. With an average of 38 people dying each July, this makes it the killer month of the year.

 

Mr. Brett added, “The seasonal increase in fatalities during the month of July is a clear warning to us all that we cannot afford to be complacent.  So I would appeal to all road users to take personal responsibility for their actions and to make this July the safest one yet.”

 

Throughout July there are added dangers as school children are on holidays and with the finer weather and longer hours of daylight more people are walking and cycling on the roads. In addition, more people are travelling to and from sporting, cultural and social events and there are increasing numbers of Irish and foreign visitors touring the country.

 

Mr. Noel Brett, CEO, RSA, said “Whether you are a motorist, motorcyclist, cyclist or pedestrian you are about to enter the most dangerous time to use Irish roads. I would urge drivers to slow down, never, ever drink or take drugs and drive, and ensure seat belts are worn by all. Pedestrians and cyclists, particularly during the long summer evenings should be aware of their vulnerability and wear high visibility clothing in addition to protective gear.”

 

“I make a particular appeal to motorcyclists who are at greater risk over the summer months. The advent of warm weather brings more motorcyclists out on to the road and it is imperative that correct helmets, protective clothing, boots and gloves are worn and that motorcyclists are driven in a mature and  responsible way with due regard for both your own safety and those with whom you share the road. A Hi Vis vest can be a lifesaver for motorcyclists and the RSA has teamed up with Bike Buyers guide to distribute 40,000 hi vis vests free to motorcyclists this July”. Concluded Mr. Brett.
