Road safety alert ahead of yellow rainfall warningThe Road Safety Authority (RSA) is asking road users to exercise caution while using the roads over the weekend as Met Eireann has advised of a yellow weather warning for high rainfall for the whole of Ireland. Drivers and motorcycle riders are being warned that during a prolonged dry spell, a build-up of oil and rubber deposit develops on the road. Drivers can get caught out with this change in road conditions so the advice is to slow down and increase braking distance. Walk on the right-hand side of the road, facing traffic if there are no footpaths. See advice on driving in the RSA's series of severe weather warning videos created in collaboration with Teresa Mannion.
