The RSA is asking all road users to use today day to reflect on their road behaviours.

It's warning road safety needs to be recognised during the election campaign.

Drivers are advised to pay particular attention to motorbikes or vehicles veering across the road.

The figures come from new information from the CSO and show that application levels remain steady across the region.

They received their award from Minister of State for Transport Jack Chambers at the RSA Leading Lights in Road Safety Awards recently.

It's likely the new driving test will reflect the rise in e-scooters and how motorway driving is a bigger factor across the country.

155 people have died in road collisions - up 36 on the same time last year.

Those who break the proposed regulations if approved, will be subject to a Garda fine.
