R.I.P. Condolences to the mans family and I hope the Lady makes a speedy recovery. One thing to note is that if your living in areas where you would have to walk along dark country roads you should always have a Hi-Vis jacket or atleast use a torch that’s on majority of phones these days. I myself have had near misses through people walking the roads at night in dark clothing.
Rip. and hope that lady recovers. Hard on the families to get such sudden news. But equally hard on the driver. Our country roads are not suitable for cycling or walking. And I know everybody has the right to be there. My point is we have to put our safety above our right to walk or cycle in the roads. Too many sweeping bends. A neighbour killed while walking close to us a few weeks ago too. you see it every Day. A cyclist or pedestrian on a bendy twisty road at rush hour. I always say God I hope that person makes it safe to which ever town they are heading. !! The roads are far from safe. Be careful out there.
Condolences to the family of the dead persons family, friends neighbours in Dublin and hope the injured in the other accident including the driver of the car make a full recovery. In a entirely different story this am a woman with a baby in her arms with her back towards me stepped onto the road and another child following without as much as looking i was prepared as I anticipated something like this to happen and was doing well less than the speed limit She and her children were lucky this time.
have your say
