Fresh warnings over "morning after" driving

The warning comes from the Road Safety Authority.

A fresh warning has been issued to motorists about the dangers of driving the "morning after".

The Road Safety Authority and the Gardai have come together to issue a road safety appeal and a reminder to motorists about the dangers of driving the morning after a night of drinking where their driving could still be significantly impaired by alcohol.  

4 people lost their lives over the St Patrick's Day period last year and as a result the RSA is urging people to act responsibly particularly when it comes to alcohol and road use and to plan ahead by organising a designated driver or booking a taxi for a night out.. 

Speaking to RedFM News the RSA's Brian Farrell is reminding people that they may be over the limit the morning after a night out without realising it.
