Episode Details

Motorcycle deaths hit a 20-year high last year, with 30 riders killed — the most since 2007 — making up nearly 16% of all road fatalities. Over five years, 117 motorcyclists died, just one female, while 954 suffered serious injuries. Most crashes occurred between 1 PM and 5 PM, on weekends, in Dublin, Cork, and Wicklow — often at junctions, involving collisions with cars. The Road Safety Authority urges drivers to be vigilant, especially when changing lanes, and riders to stay visible and anticipate hazards. So far this year, 10 riders have died, half under 30 — a grim reminder that shared road safety is everyone’s responsibility.
