Welcome to Motornet.ie's Road Safety section, our guide to safe driving.

In this section, we write on safety aspects such as your car tyres, brakes and Euro NCAP ratings, as well as child safety and driver behaviour.

There are articles too on the legal issues surrounding driving in Ireland, including the penalty points system, speed cameras and provisional licenses.

How do Ireland's accident statistics compare with those of other countries? We take a look in our driving culture section.

We hope you find the articles interesting and useful in raising awareness of driver safety.

If you have suggestions for further coverage of this key motoring topic, or would like to share your stories of and tips for road safety, please let us know here.
