Abstract
A total of 335 persons were killed in 301 fatal collisions on public roads in the Republic of Ireland in 2003. This represents a reduction of 41 fatalities and 45 fatal crashes over the 2002 figures. This trend was influenced by the introduction of the Penalty Points system on 31st October, 2002. 28% of all fatal collisions in 2003 occurred on urban roads with the remaining 72% occurring on rural roads.
