An Garda Síochána Kildare-Carlow are reminding all road users to take extra care on our roads this St Brigid’s bank holiday weekend.
With increased traffic expected, Gardaí will be conducting high-visibility checkpoints and patrols throughout Kildare and Carlow to ensure everyone reaches their destination safely.
Road users are urged to:
Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Slow down and drive to the conditions
Always wear seatbelts and ensure children are properly restrained
Avoid distractions such as mobile phones while driving
Be mindful of vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists
Plan your journey in advance, take regular breaks on long trips, and remember that one poor decision can have lifelong consequences.
A garda spokesperson said: “This bank holiday weekend, please take responsibility, look out for one another, and help keep our roads safe.”
