    #Cops divulge how they check for minor #traffic violations as a reason to stop drivers for the DUI check (sleep deprivation caused by #drugs can lead to these)

  7. An #Audi #driver in South #Essex got #prison for #driving at 110 mph ( 177 km/h ) on the highway - this is well over the 50mph (80 km/h) limit for that area. he crashed into 3 #Council workers on ride on lawnmowers, causing 2 of them serious injury (hence #jail time even after a guilty plea).

    He claimed the "brakes locked up" - vehicle was a mid 2000s Audi S3 ( Typ 8P ) which has very good brakes with ABS if well maintained, but those won't save anyone from driving too fast for the conditions - in a car review from that era there's warnings against pushing it to the rev limiter and that it can become "uncomposed" - the video from the #Police clearly shows him doing exactly that..

  17. In a turbulent world of increasing division, we can all agree that everyone who sets out on a journey, to work, to school, to see the people they love, should reach their destination safely.

    I call on world leaders to ensure new UN declaration on #RoadSafety becomes more than words on a page.

    I commend countries for the strong political declaration adopted at the UN High-Level meeting on #RoadSafety, which aims to ensure more roads are designed for people first, not motor vehicles, with safety as priority

  35. ✔️ One drink driver was arrested six times by Gardaí in 2025 - 277 more than once
    ✔️ The youngest drink driver was aged 14
    ✔️ The oldest drink driver was 95
    ✔️ The highest alcohol level detected was nine times over the legal limit for fully licensed drivers

    Is it any wonder that the Director of the Medical Bureau of Road Safety is a retired coroner?

  40. Good morning - mostly to my poor head, that's completely melted with all the ill-informed and unhinged discussion from politicians and others about

    ✅ hi viz
    ✅ helmets
    ✅ road safety

    without a single solitary mention of car drivers. Jesus wept.
