Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Issues Relating to Road Safety: Road Safety Authority

Mr. Sam Waide:

Let me elaborate. One of the predominant contributing factors is speed but there are the other three killer behaviours. Speeding is a killer behaviour but there is also drink driving, taking drugs while driving and distracted driving, including the use of mobile phones. Killer behaviours all sit at the heart of the predominant factors for road traffic collisions. It is the occurrence of those killer behaviours that are at the heart of it. My condolences go out to families who have lost loved ones. Not wearing seatbelts is another factor. I have mentioned this to the committee before.
