12pm to 4pm is the riskiest time on Ireland's roads.

60 fatal collisions, resulting in 65 deaths, occurred on Irish roads between January and mid-July.

75 percent of those who died were men.

1 of those fatalities occurred in Kildare.

11 of the deaths were as a result of crashes in Dublin, while Limerick, Tipperary, Louth and Kerry had 5 fatalities each.

Research by the RSA shows dangerous driver behaviour is increasing.
