Cyclist in collision with truck. Pedestrian struck by bus.
The driver is absent from the account. The vehicle is given agency. The vulnerable road user is positioned as the active party.
A subtle but powerful way of shifting blame, shaping how we think about road deaths diminishing accountability.

Three people riding bicycles were killed on Irish roads last week.
The most recent, a 27 year old woman from Japan, who had just started working in Cork.
The oldest was a man in his 80s. The driver did not stop.

The government is:
❌ Failing to provide good quality active transport infrastructure
❌ Failing to introduce a 30 km/h default urban speed limit
❌ Failing to protect people
Make no mistake, the rise in people being killed is not an accident — it’s the result of political choices.

Road deaths are going down - but more cyclists and pedestrians are being killed. Why?
The number of pedestrian and cyclist deaths is now at the highest level in six years.

No, pedestrian and cyclist behaviour in Ireland isn’t perfect. Far from it.
But our main problem is our unhealthy, dysfunctional relationship with cars.
Speeding. Running red lights. Dangerous, illegal parking like below. These are everyday risks that we’ve normalised.
We desperately need change!

Thanks Tadgh McNally and the Examiner for reporting fears among communities caused by the government U-turn on 30km/h zones.
The new government flipped on legislation enacted last year. Residential areas are now on tenterhooks they will be sold out in favour of motorist speed and through traffic.

Legislation passed last year contained provisions for sweeping changes to urban speed limits, but the Department has since confirmed these will not be enacted 'at this time'
