Overview

This is the first book to provide a detailed account of road traffic collisions in Ireland, with particular emphasis on the human cost of driver error. Interviewees include grieving families and injured victims, former minister, Jim McDaid, Galway boy racers, a young man who killed his best friend, and Micilin Feeney who was left brain-damaged after a drink-driving accident. Those working on the front line in emergency services - gardai, firemen, medical personnel - are given a voice, while road safety experts discuss the facts behind our collision culture. Speeding, drink-driving and other legal concerns are examined in detail. This is essential reading for everyone, from experienced drivers to those about to get behind the wheel for the first time.
