Call For Road Users To Remain Vigilant Over Bank Holiday Weekend

The Environment Minister is urging road users to take extra care ahead of the Bank Holiday weekend.

Minister Mark H Durkan is appealing to the public to remain vigilant.

Mr Durkan said: "Collectively, as road users, we are making thousands of decisions everyday that save lives. Both our own, and the lives of those around us.

"We are all responsible for our own behaviour: drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, pedestrians and cyclists.

"One wrong choice can change lives forever."
