The same can be said about pretty much any country. This article is an opinion and isn't backed by examples or facts. If anything to be said about French roads, we have automated speed controls and it's a heavy burden on our lower-wealth population.
I wouldn't imagine a police force with a reputation to be lenient. Is it like this for the Irish Guarda? Do they still succeed in keeping the death rates low?
- rmc 13y agoThis article is an opinion and isn't backed by examples or facts Yes it's an opinion piece. But it's an opinion piece from a large motorist organisation, which gives information about motoring and travelling. France is very close to Ireland and many people travel there, so their recommendations are probably true. Do they still succeed in keeping the death rates low? Yes. We have had a massive reduction in deaths on the roads in the last few years, down to 162 in 2012[1], down from about 415 in 2000[2]. The Wikipedia list of road deaths per year[3] also shows Ireland scoring lower than France for various road death metrics [1] http://www.rsa.ie/RSA/Road-Safety/Our-Research/Deaths-injuries-on-Irish-roads/ http://www.rsa.ie/RSA/Road-Safety/Our-Research/Deaths-injuri...
