Over the past five-years, one-quarter of drivers involved in road death crashes were driving for work.
According to RSA research, HGVs were involved in 11% of fatal collisions and Irish Road Haulage Association spokesperson Eugene Drennan said that is likely because HGV drivers are on the roads more often than the average motorist.“The statistic about people who work, I think that would be expected because these are the people who do the most miles, are on all of the roads all over the country and in all sorts of conditions.”Mr Drennan also said Irish roads were not built with HGVs in mind.
