When people leave their home in the morning, get into their car and start it, the most important thing is that they get home safely. What impact do GoSafe vans have on road safety? When people see them, they put their foot on the brake so it is a deterrent for speeding, but what impact do they have on saving people's lives? Does the Garda have any say in their locations? If so, why? I come from Dundalk and most people in the area know where the vans will be on a particular day. They are a deterrent but what impact do they have on safety? Do they save one life or two lives? They have cut back on speeding. What opinion do the witnesses have of the GoSafe vans?
