But for those planning an Easter getaway, Police are urging motorists to stay safe on the roads this weekend.
Superintendent Steve Greally, Director of Road Policing, says despite a decrease in injuries and death over February and March, drivers can do so much more to stay safe given the disappointing start to the year so far.
“Those split-second decisions when driving can put a life in the balance. That’s why it’s important not to overlook them wherever or whenever you’re travelling.
“It takes a second to either put your seatbelt on, share an Uber home or have a sober driver on hand, decide to leave that text or call alone, and slow down on any road.”
Whether you are spending Easter close to home or travelling, stay safe and make the most of the long weekend.
