Irish road deaths down

According to RTE:

“23% drop in road deaths linked to testing. The number of people being killed on Irish roads has dropped by almost a quarter since mandatory breath testing was introduced last July. Figures released by the Road Safety Authority show that there were 80 fewer deaths in the 11-month period since it was introduced. 274 people died on roads in Ireland in the last 11 months, while 354 lost their lives in the previous 11 months.”

CEO of the Road Safety Authority – Noel Brett, who i have a huge amount of admiration for cause he’s a cool guy, seems to be doing a fab Job.

I think when driver training in simulators (one of the projects i’ve been working on for 2 years now) takes off along with the increased measures Noel is putting into place Ireland could dramitically reduce the numbers further.
