Quote from: tyrone08 on Today at 12:49:13 PMI had a quick look at the ages of all the people who died on the road. 41% were under 30 years old. 30% of people were over age of 60. The other 29% were between 30-60 years old.The same drivers are on other roads that don't have anywhere near the level of fatalities that the A5 has. Is a responsibility to drive safely anywhere but that road is a death trap.
I be on that road often enough to see that speed and overtaking at bad time would account for a large portion of the deaths.
Its a poor road but that doesn't always excuse the excess speed or overtaking on blind corners.

But for twitter there'd be no Jamie Bryson and I don't think there'd be the rise there is in the south either.
At least Bryson isn't hiding behind a fake name like 99.9% of the hate filled bastids on there are
When will people catch about twitter? Like I know I've umpteen posts on here, but that's my limit, of social media, when someone talks to me about what they seen on twitter or some said this on TikTok I'm immediately rolling my eyes and wanting to bash their heads in
Will Twitter and the like get worst or will it die a death?
It won't die. I do like Twitter but it can be a cesspit. I block loads of people who get in the way of important things like GAA and NBA news etc

The three prior fatal collisions have claimed 5 lives, all over the age of 30. The road in its current form is simply unfit for purpose.
No one is blaming age all the, but don't let that get in the way of your post. This reason for this accident is unknown, a single car accident involving teenagers. I don't know anyone that is against making this road safer.
But having suggestions in general about car safety and driving sensibly can also happen separately
No one said it would and speed restrictions on young drivers should be for up and down the country and not just the A5
