A Garda spokesperson said: “There is always a risk as a driver/passenger of being involved in a collision when out on the roads.
“We urge all drivers to play their part in reducing that risk by choosing to drive safely. Slow down. Do not ever get behind the wheel when you have alcohol/drugs in your system.
“Please make wise decisions where road safety is concerned and help save lives.”
