Road Wise: Hit-and-runs

By Daniela Rana, Shannonside

A collision can happen in a split second, but what you do in the moments afterwards can have consequences that last a lifetime. If you're involved in a collision, you have a responsibility to stop.

Despite this, hit-and-run incidents continue to happen on Irish roads. David Martin from the Road Safety Authority outlines what you are legally required to do if you're involved in a collision.

This road safety programme is made with the support of the IBI and the Sound and Vision scheme, a Coimisiún na Meán initiative funded by the television licence fee.
