“These figures show that we as a society are still not taking road safety seriously enough.”
Police have urged drivers to slow down, pay attention and stop taking risks as the amount of people who have died on the roads has increased.
PSNI Chief Inspector Graham Dodds, Head of Road Policing, said: “Tragically, 46 people have already lost their lives on our roads this year. That is 18 more compared to the same time period last year, which is quite shocking. “Inattention and speed, or more accurately, excessive speed for the conditions and drink or drug driving, are consistently the principal causes of the most serious road traffic collisions in which people are killed or seriously injured on roads in Northern Ireland.”
