Trevor Sargent

Ceist:

1014 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Transport if there are statistics available which detail the causes of road accidents, from which we can see the percentages of fatalities, or serious injuries, attributable to drunk or drugged drivers, tiredness, exceeding the posted limit, overtaking slow moving traffic and the making of right turns. [22659/04]

Commentary on the information available regarding causes of fatal and serious injury road collisions, is prepared by the National Roads Authority based on reports from the Garda Síochána and is published by the authority in its annual road accident facts reports. The most recent report is in respect of 2002 and that report, along with reports relating to previous years, are available in the Oireachtas Library. The reports provide data on certain contributory factors including exceeding safe speed limits. Such commentary does not, however, include details of the percentage of fatalities or serious injuries attributable to drunk or drugged drivers, those suffering from fatigue, overtaking slow moving traffic or making right turns.
