A factor in collisions involving a motorcyclist and a driver is when a vehicle turns or drives through a junction/joins a main road from a minor road, fails to observe, and ends up colliding with the motorcyclist.
Drivers, look out for motorcyclists at junctions.

@AmandaJBrunker @RSAIreland @GardaTraffic Thank you ❤️

[Laura Rice @L_L_Rice]

I had the honour today to get to talk about my Da and my experience of losing him at this launch. Great to see @RSAIreland @GardaTraffic and victims families coming together and uplifted by the music of the Dublin Gospel Choir.

Today, we remember our loved ones as we launch World Day of Remembrance for road traffic victims.

There really should be tougher consequences, better media campaigns and reduced speed limits on regional roads…these things amongst others could reduce road deaths and serious injuries. But really who is listening and who will take action? @RSAIreland @SimonHarrisTD

[Bob Flavin @BobFlavin]

A very angry rant:

For years I have told the @RSAIreland that training is the answer for all the traffic collisions. Retests should be required when you have more than 6 points.
Punishments should be severe for drunk/drug-driving
Every ten years you must resit the driving test in full
New drivers should be tested on motorways and dual carriageways.
Fail the driving test more than three times and the instructor should be examined.
Driving instructors should take a real advanced driving course that tests and improves their skills.
Newly qualified drivers should have to sit on the same advanced driving course.

Years of targeting speed through costly TV ads and the numbers are dismal. Any experienced driver in Ireland at the moment is full of horror stories of the madness on the roads.
We see it every day now, near misses, driving in the centre lane looking at a phone, inappropriate speeding, aggression and near-zero policing from a lack of Traffic Corp, and speed vans which are having no effect.

The increase in road deaths is now the worst in Europe and what I'm saying seems to fall on deaf ears as I'm only moaning unlike the "journalists" that are paid to put out messages that no one is listening to.

We should be in a great position with a small population and a sea border but we don't know what causes the crashes because GDPR problems that the department has hidden behind for years.

Meanwhile, we are at the bottom of the table and that's the reality.

#DYK? Analogies shed light on science communication, transforming complex concepts into familiar, everyday experiences.
Consider the electron cloud model—it describes how electrons behave around an atom's nucleus, similar to bees buzzing unpredictably around their hive. 🐝⚛️

Thanks @JulieanneCorr and @ST__Ireland for highlighting the leniency of the sentence and the need for more to be done to make our roads safer. Hopefully people will drive with more care on the roads @RSAIreland @IRVAroadsafety #onedeathistoomany #saferroads

[Courts News Ireland @courtsnewsIRL]

The two-year jail sentence handed down to a robber with 92 previous convictions who rammed garda cars while travelling the wrong way down a motorway was significantly too lenient, the Court of Appeal found today as it more than trebled the offender's prison time.

@kevinjxzsmith @IRVAroadsafety Yes, it’s an insult to him. Why put us, his family through 3 years of court for this? You wonder what is the deterrent for other careless drivers
