Road fatalities Already Number 82
Published 19/03/2002

A plea for safe driving over St Patrick's Weekend has been made, due to the high number of fatalities which have occurred already this year. Last year due to travel restrictions caused by FMD there were no fatalities over St Patrick's' weekend. Aidan Cassells, Executive Director of AXA, the country's largest motor insurer has appealed for the same fatality free holiday this year. He said" It is possible to have a bank holiday free of tragedy." He urged motorists to slow down, always wear a seatbelt and never, ever, drink and drive. Always see children are secured and check tyres, oil and water before departure. He said, "Last year 411 people were killed and 12,000 injured, many of whom will require care for the rest of their lives. AXA has an on-going commitment to safer driving best seen in it's sponsorship of hard hitting TV advertisements which highlight the dangers of dangerous driving.
