Slow Down! Save Lives!

• 11 Fatalities and 16 Serious Injuries over June Bank Holiday in 2013 and 2012
• 80,000+ drivers detected speeding to date in 2014
• Applegreen to give away free coffees at participating stations on 30th May.

An Garda Síochána and the Road Safety Authority (RSA) have appealed to drivers ahead of the June Bank Holiday weekend to reduce their speed by taking part in a national ‘Slow Down” day, which will take place for a 24 hour period, from 7am on Friday 30th – 7am Saturday 31st May 2014.

The call comes as figures show that the June Bank Holiday has consistently been the most dangerous weekend over the past two years. Five people lost their lives and five were seriously injured over the June Bank Holiday in 2013. Six lost their lives and 11 were seriously injured in 2012.
