Today Sunday 18th November commemorates World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. It is a time to remember the many killed and injured on the nation's roads, together with their families, friends and many others who are affected. It is also a day to thank our emergency services who deal with the consequences on a daily basis. Over the period from January 2007 to December 2017 a total of 3,141 people have lost their lives on the roads on the island of Ireland, figures which don’t include the countless numbers left with life changing injuries over the same period.
