Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Ms Verona Murphy:
Yes, it has. All vehicles can produce a huge amount of spray. One can go above the regulation and have better brushes on the side of the gear and whatever. Much of the problem has to do with the design of motorways and the way water lies on them. One must understand that the vehicle and rotation of its wheels are bigger so the spray is bound to be bigger. Just because one can do 100 km/h does not mean one can always do so. If the weather is inclement then everyone must err on the side of caution. That is practical common sense.
