By December 31, 179 people died on Irish roads, just five less than last year's 184 fatalities, indicating a troubling trend of increasing road deaths.
Experts are perplexed by the volatility of fatal accident statistics, noting that after a 30% increase in deaths last spring, a sudden drop occurred over summer and autumn.
Despite significant road safety campaigns, Ireland witnessed a surge in fatalities in the final months of the year, with an average of one death every 48 hours.
Gardaí are urging motorists to prioritize safety, particularly over the festive season, as over one million people undertake journeys, reinforcing the importance of vigilance and sober driving.
