Gardaí in Donegal have issued advice to road users on the importance of visibility.
It comes as we enter the darkest month of the year.
Gardaí say the importance of visibility on our roads cannot be understated, particularly for vulnerable road users including pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooter drivers and motorcyclists.
They are urging all road users to:
- Wear or use high-visibility clothing and accessories
- Use appropriate lighting on bicycles, motorcycles, e-scooters and vehicles
- Drive using dipped headlights at all times of day during the winter period
- Slow down and anticipate vulnerable road users, allow extra space for overtaking on rural roads in particular
- Be extra vigilant during hours of low light
They added that, If you can be seen, you can be safer.
