GARDAÍ have launched a traffic enforcement campaign across Ireland ahead of the St Brigid’s bank holiday weekend. Over the last five years An Garda Síochána has issued nearly 30,000 fixed charge notices for driving without reasonable consideration. “Driving requires your full attention,” Garda Assistant Commissioner Catharina Gunne, of the Roads Policing and Community Engagement department, said. He added: “Driving while using a mobile device is utterly unacceptable but unfortunately, this behaviour has become far too common on our roads. “Too many families and communities have lost loved ones to road traffic collisions, and I appeal to all road users this weekend to put your devices away and to drive in a manner that protects the safety of other road users.”The Garda road safety campaign runs from 7am today until 7am on Tuesday, February 3.
