      We measure up well against our European neighbours when it comes to road fatalities but it’s still incredibly disappointing how fatalities have been trending upwards in the last few years. It’s not good enough.

    3. ManAboutCouch on

      50 years ago there were almost 600 road fatalities and a population of a little over 3 million. That’s about 200 deaths per million.

      The recent uptick is disappointing, and every one a tragedy, but it used to be absolute carnage on the roads.

      Sadly they’ve been going up very significantly in recent years

      Edit: Looking at only the last 4 years is misleading, because 2020 was very low due to COVID. We’re reverting to the norm (sadly)

      I knew we should never have dropped our prejudice against culchies. They can’t even drive outside of Dublin.

      This is accurate, I remember driving in southern Belgium years ago and thinking that it was lethal…. Huge volumes of traffic travelling flat out…

      It annoys me how people act as if fatalities are the only life changing after effect of bad driving.

      I think judging it by death is very reductive.

    8. Living_Ad_5260 on

      Are there stats for deaths by type of road and speed limit?

      There is a plan to reduce everyone to cycling speeds everywhere outside of the motorways. Sometimes that will be appropriate, but equally for a lot of the time it won’t.

      And I don’t trust the RSA to make an intelligent decision on it.

      The problem is not the absolute numbers, but that there has been a massive shift from dumbass car drivers killing each other, to dumbass car drivers killing defenceless pedestrians and other vulnerable road users.

      Why included Turkey but not the UK…
      Baffles the mind.

      Observe any carpark in this country for just 10 minutes and wonder how they aren’t constantly clogged up with collisions.

      Witness people on any motorway, regardless of vehicle and you’ll wonder if bribery isn’t more rampant in the driving tests. (or if people have taken it at all)

      We are terrible drivers.

      I knew we were doing well on this. The despairing narrative around this on RTE is very strange. You’re never going to have no road deaths. You can only aim for as little as possible and then use international comparitors

      Ireland deserves special credit here, because unlike Norway, our public transport is crap so we still depend on cars for a lot of transportation.
