There are numerous factors at play not just behavioural. It was always said never buy a second hand car with DL on the plate as it probably drove on the worse roads and was exposed to the harshest climate in this country. That being said there is a lawlessness and maybe not much respect for authority that is pervasive up there that can only be tackled through education and campaigning though the likes of community leaders like Pearse Doherty, Michael Murphy etc. In terms of detection and deterrent - a county that size just doesn’t have Garda resources. Even that road Gortahork where they were killed didn’t have any lighting or even white lines on stretches of it so I’m not sure where you could fit cameras. I would say there are many roads in Donegal where there has never been a speed trap. It shouldn’t be responsibility of one grouping there needs to be a community buy in.
Maybe build them a recreational motor speedway similar to what they have in many states in the US or something so they can get their fix. This need for speed is in their DNA.
150 road deaths in 2018, the lowest since records began in 1959.
There has been a staggering drop over the last 20 years - in the 1990s the figure always comfortably exceeded 400 - but 2010 was the last time the figure exceeded 200.
Policy drives culture, and makes a massive difference. Tragedy is not eliminable, however.
Copper_pipe put up the video there of the lads in Donegal that crashed the car drunk,then recorded himself setting it on fire and reporting it stolen to the guards,all while being recorded by his buddy on Snapchat. I have it but it wont upload
