    Something wrong there, I know its accidents vs fatalities so I don't have the figures for accidents. But Drivers + Passengers 88 out of 130? Considering this http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056740608

    Personally I've seen very little on the street Garda presence for dangerous and/or aggressive driving. And you see it in every queue and junction almost constantly around the city. Does the media seem to have an agenda to vilify cyclists? That said I don't see why they don't confiscate bikes off cyclists with no lights at night, or the promotion of reflective gear.
