Light up your rothar!

The switch from summer time and the resulting earlier evening darkness have highlighted an issue concerning young cyclists without lights. The Diary has been asked to remind cyclists and their parents of the importance of having front and rear lights and ensuring they are switched on. 

Between 2020 and 2024, 45 cyclists were killed and 1,278 were seriously injured on Ireland's roads. Almost two in three of the fatalities involved collisions with another vehicle. 

An Garda Síochána reminds all road users to ‘Be Safe, Be Seen’. Especially during these darker evenings, they urge pedestrians and cyclists to wear high-visibility clothing.
