Authority calls for drivers to ‘return to basics’ after more than 500 arrests in July.
Seven more people have died on the roads in the year to July 21st than in the previous 12 months according to the mid-year review of road safety published by An Garda Síochána and the Road Safety Authority.
There were 89 fatal collisions and 93 fatalities from July 21st last to year to the same date this year, an 8 per cent increase in deaths and a 10 per cent increase in crashes.
Gardaí and the authority have expressed their concern and disappointment at the increase in deaths in the past 12 months after the number of fatalities fell in the 2015 calendar year to 166, compared with 193 in 2014.
