Just when we thought we’d escaped with a relatively mild winter, the cold has returned with a vengeance.

Their warning comes as the country [...]]]></description>

We all take the brakes in our car for granted. We expect them to work perfectly, especially if we need them in an emergency. So it’s no surprise that they’re a part of the vehicle that&#8217;s overworked &#8211; the average driver uses their brakes an estimated 75,000 times a year.

New, lower, drink drive limits come into force tomorrow. Make sure you&#8217;re aware of the changes. But, as ever, the best way to be sure you&#8217;re under the limit, and to stay safe, is to simply never drink before driving.

Motorcyclists can often be vulnerable road users. According to the Road Safety Authority’s National Motorcycle Plan 2010 &#8211; 2014 they accounted for one in ten of all road fatalities in 2009. This is especially worrying given that motorcycles only accounted for one percent of all licensed vehicles in the Republic  of Ireland in 2007.

Keeping your children safe in the car is a top priority for every parent. But even if you think you’re doing everything [...]]]></description>

In June of this year the state of Nevada paved the way for the introduction of self-driving vehicles to the U.S. when it passed a new bill that would create guidelines for the safe operation of automated self-driving [...]]]></description>

I’m not sure the perfect driver exists. But although we all make the occasional driving error, a recent survey has revealed frightening levels of rule-breaking on Irish roads.  
The roadside survey, carried out by Continental Tyres, looked at motorist behaviour at some of Ireland’s busiest roundabouts. It found that drivers often ignore the rules of the [...]]]></description>
