With the August Bank Holiday this weekend, gardaí have made an appeal to road users to behave responsibly when driving. AdvertisementThey also urge drivers not to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs to risk losing their license. A garda spokesperson stated: “Please arrange a lift home in advance if you intend to go socialising over the Bank Holiday Weekend or get a taxi. Never get into a car as a passenger with anyone whom you think may have consumed alcohol or drugs.” As always, gardaí will be operating high visibility checkpoints and speed checks on the roads across the weekend.
