Some tips from the Government and RSA on Winter Safety in and out of your vehicles

High visibility clothing is a vital and necessary requirement in any workplace where a significant proportion of the work occurs near, in, on and around moving vehicles.

Students who use private bus companies to travel to college could see their fares cut in half, with the Government planning on cutting the cost before third-level institutions return.  Transport Minister Eamon Ryan said that it was difficult to implement the changes due to different ticketing systems on commercial buses.

Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Ms. Hildegarde Naughton is set to introduce regulations that will double the fixed charges relating to key road safety offences including speeding, phone use and non-wearing of seatbelts.

School Bus Safety called into Question & Response from J.F.Dunne Insurances Ltd

Notice to stakeholders on road transport that was published by the Commission on 19 January 2018.

It is important to note that this notice is intended to facilitate preparation by EU-27 Member States and by wider stakeholders for the contingency that on 30 March 2019 the UK leaves the EU without a deal on a transitional period having been agreed (i.e. the no deal, disorderly Brexit scenario). If, as part of the withdrawal process, the draft legal text as published in late February is agreed and approved by Member States and the European Parliament, many of the elements reflected in this notice will only become relevant at the end of the transition period.

Telematics has been the buzzword around motor insurance for the last few years.

Originally little black boxes that you plugged into your car, Telematics have become a lot more advanced and can now be downloaded onto your mobile phone. Typically Telematics records speed, acceleration, braking, cornering, distances travelled, time of day or night travelling occurs etc..  All of this helps the insurer to better understand the risk you may present behind the wheel and rate your policy accordingly.

Our online motor insurance will soon be offering you the option of purchasing a standard or telematics policy. You will get a discount for taking out this policy but you also have the chance of increasing this discount with your good driving, you could earn up to 20%  further discount after 90 days depending on your driving score.

The telematics policy has some terms and conditions that will differ from your standard policy and it is important to understand these before committing to the policy.
