Bad manners and poor identification of black spots are contributing to the high number of accidents on Irish roads, as the Coroner's Society of Ireland calls for drivers to take refresher courses every 10 years

Bad manners and poor identification of black spots are contributing to the high number of accidents on Irish roads, according to the Public Information Officer of the Coroner's Society of Ireland.

So far this year 55 people have lost their lives on Irish roads, but that number pales in comparison to the amount of people who have been injured in traffic accidents and the families and communities who have been affected. "If you multiply that out through the community, you're talking about thousands of people that are affected by either deaths or serious injuries.""Cars require an NCT test every four years and then they require it every two years and then, depending on the age, every year," he said.
