Ahead of the Bank Holiday Weekend this weekend, Mayo County Council Road Safety have taken inspiration from 'Father Ted' for their road safety campaign.
'Go on, Go on, Take a break’ aims to remind motorists to freshen up and take a break from driving if they're feeling tired.
According to the RSA, fatigue is a contributory factor in as many as 1 in 5 driver deaths in Ireland every year, while tiredness related collisions are three times more likely to result in death or serious injury.
"We're asking everyone to be well rested before taking to the roads and to stop off every two hours to have a rest and a cup of coffee", said Mayo's Road Safety Officer Noel Gibbons when speaking to iRadio.
When it comes to "tiredness, there are little or no warning signs", he added.
Bear this in mind before you take to the roads across the weekend and plan your journey well.
