Drivers are urged to slow down
Local police have launched their latest road safety campaign, reminding the public of the need to keep road safety at the forefront of their minds.
Explaining that the PSNI’s statistics show an increased risk of road traffic collisions during holiday periods, Superintendent Sue Steen said: “Police make no excuse for robustly enforcing the law to make Northern Ireland’s roads safer. We ask that drivers slow down and remember that we all share the responsibility to prevent deaths and serious injuries on our roads - do not drive after drinking or taking drugs, drive with greater care and attention and never use mobile phones while driving.”
To date this year, 28 people have been killed on Northern Ireland’s roads.
