Maura Fay report on private speed awareness courses for people facing road traffic offences

In this first episode of Made to Parade "Unfiltered", we're joined by Rev. Mervyn Gibson, Grand Secretary of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, to delve into one of the most visually recognisable – and often misunderstood – symbols of Ulster Protestant culture: the Orange arch.Erected in towns and villages across Northern Ireland in the lead-up to the Twelfth of July, these decorative arches are deeply rooted in local tradition, community pride, and historical commemoration. But in recent years, some critics have labelled them as public safety risks or divisive displays.Are these claims based on genuine concern – or are they being used to suppress cultural expression in contested spaces?We explore:The origins and evolution of the Orange arch traditionThe legal and safety processes involved in erecting themCommon myths and criticismsThe broader questions of identity, heritage, and visibility in a post-conflict societyRev. Gibson offers both historical insight and a firm defence of the role these structures play in community life today. Whether you're from within the band scene or looking to understand more about Northern Ireland's cultural landscape, this episode challenges assumptions and sparks important conversation.#MadeToParade #OrangeArches #MervynGibson #CulturalHeritage #NorthernIreland #TwelfthOfJuly #AskMervyn #ParadingTradition #SharedSpace #CommunityIdentity

Why aren't we more outraged that 1,700 people still die on UK roads each year?Today on Highways Voices we talk road safety because, despite having some of the safest roads globally, road deaths in the UK have plateaued, and efforts to reduce them, through enforcement, awareness, and education, aren't achieving meaningful impact.Subscribe to Highways Voices free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts or Pocket Casts and never miss an episode!Sussex Police Chief Constable Jo Shiner, who's head of Britain's roads policing, is our guest and gives us a real insight into her thoughts on keeping our roads safe, and indeed making them safer.She explains why a National Road Safety Board and collision investigation system could revolutionise how we tackle fatalities, gives her views on how emerging enforcement technologies like AI-powered cameras and in-vehicle sensors could eliminate risky behaviour before it becomes fatal, and discusses the cultural and legislative shifts needed to elevate road safety from afterthought to national priority.If you're worried about road safety, this is a must listen episode for you!Highways Voices is brought to you with our partners the Transport Technology Forum, LCRIG, ADEPT and ITS UK.

China's Sodium-Ion Scooter Revolution Summary: China is rapidly adopting sodium-ion batteries in its electric scooter market, led by companies like Yadea. These cheaper and safer alternatives to lithium are ideal for short-range urban transport and could eventually disrupt global battery supply chains. ________________________________________ Toyota Bets Big on Logistics Tech Summary: Toyota is privatising Toyota Industries Corporation to focus on autonomous forklifts, logistics software, and low-emission powertrains. The move reflects a broader trend: rebranding transport as "mobility" and modernising freight handling from the warehouse floor up. ________________________________________ Can Telematics Tame Young Drivers? Summary: A small-scale Aussie study shows real-time driver feedback via telematics might help young drivers—but only briefly. Long-term behavioural change remains elusive, and the research highlights the need for better message delivery methods behind the wheel. ________________________________________ Great Wall Climbs 'Beer O'Clock Hill' Summary: Great Wall Motors proved its off-road mettle by conquering one of Australia's toughest 4WD tracks. Notably, a plug-in hybrid Ute made the climb—demonstrating how EVs and hybrid tech are redefining off-road performance expectations. ________________________________________ Dodge's Electric Muscle Car Stalls Summary: Dodge has paused production of its EV muscle car after poor U.S. sales. Traditional petrolhead buyers weren't sold on battery-powered bravado, highlighting the emotional and cultural resistance still facing EVs—especially in the performance segment. ________________________________________ Driving While Female: Beyond Tokenism Summary: An international survey aims to understand women's experience behind the wheel. While the intent is strong, David and Paul warn against shallow analysis. Real progress requires data that captures access issues, social pressures, and behavioural patterns—not just averages. ________________________________________ Road Toll Stats: Misused, Misunderstood, and Misleading Summary: David unpacks Australia's latest road fatality stats, urging caution when interpreting small sample sizes or percentage shifts. A major jump in remote area deaths is likely due to improved reporting or infrastructure gaps, rather than sudden behavioural changes. ________________________________________ Northern Territory Tops Road Risk Charts Summary: The NT continues to record Australia's highest road fatality rate per capita—over four times higher than most other states. Long distances, rough roads, and speed are likely factors. The data underscores the life-saving power of infrastructure investment. ________________________________________ Respecting the Lane: Lessons from the Autobahn Summary: Paul reflects on how German road courtesy—like letting buses overtake trucks—contrasts with Australia's often combative driving culture. It's a reminder that education, not just engineering, plays a key role in safer roads. ________________________________________ Review: Jaecoo J7 SUV – Chinese Sophistication on a Budget Summary: The Jaecoo J7, a more refined cousin of the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, offers great value with a premium feel. It's better built, offers AWD, and comes with a future buyback guarantee—appealing features in a rapidly evolving Chinese car landscape. ________________________________________ Program Links and Credits This Overdrive program originally aired on the 7th of June 2025.

Rodney local board member and road safety campaigner Geoff Upson join Ryan Bridge to talk about the safety of young people on the road. Upson says that although road fatality rates are declining, there is more work to do when it comes to educating first-time drivers. He said that professional driver training alongside more time in the car with Mum and Dad could make all the difference tomake sure teenagers know how to conduct themselves on the road. Upson also said that education about the car itself is also lacking, with misunderstandings in tire grip capacity leading to more accidents in the rain.

The call comes as new figures show the nation’s road toll continuesto climb. AAA Managing Director Michael Bradley said figures show roaddeaths are up by 18.1 per cent in the five years since AustralianGovernments set a target of halving national road deaths by 2030.Following my story on the recommendations of the N.S.W ParliamentaryCommittee inquiry into e-scooters and e-bikes I note the recent death of ane-scooter rider on the South Coast – the 41-year-old rider crashed onto theroadway and sadly was hit by a car. Over the last five years 30 people havelost their lives in e-scooter accidents – many of the children’s deathsattributed to their inexperience of riding e-scooters on busy roads.

How do forensic investigators decipher the scene of a violent car crash? Why is the filament in a brake light so important? And what evidence can lead investigators down the wrong path? Dr Raphael Grzebieta is an expert in car crash analysis, and has worked for decades in the field. His goal is to bring road safety to the fore of transport conversations, and he refuses to acknowledge car crashes as accidents, claiming there is always a reason.

The Taoiseach's promising an overhaul of speed checkpoints, following the death of an on-duty Garda. Micheál Martin says more measures are needed to protect Gardai like Kevin Flatley, who was fatally struck by a motorcycle while working yesterday afternoon. The motorcyclist, aged in his 30s, remains in serious condition in Beaumont Hospital. Father of two Kevin Flatley - from Balbriggan in Dublin, is the 90th member of Gardai killed in the line of duty.

National Road Safety Week kicks off today, a time to reflect on the currentpoor driving standard in this state, National Road Safety Week the projectof Peter Frazer whose daughter Sarah was tragically killed by a truck driverin a totally avoidable crash on the Hume Highway at Mittigong in February2012. Since then, Peter has devoted his life to improving road safety -founding SARAH, standing for Safer Australian Roads and Highways. Thedriving force behind Australia’s National Road Safety Week and the roadsafety symbol the Yellow Ribbon. A campaign suggesting you wear ayellow ribbon on yourself and your car to show your support and make apledge on the SARAH website – “to drive so others survive” – to me giventhe total disregard by many motorists to road safety wearing a yellowribbon on yourself and your car is far too weak a message to what is aworsening problem year on year. We’ve just had two long weekends withincreased fatalities and numerous injuries. It’s clear there has beensubstantial vehicle growth in N.S.W. – a lot of new drivers mainly fromoverseas with poor knowledge of our road rules and driving conditions –you witness it almost daily – driver behavior and attitude is at an all-timelow, and driver education and compliance testing is in need of a radicaloverhaul. I’m David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Talking further on National Road Safety Week starting today – a timesurely to reflect on the current poor driving standard in this state, Thecampaign is national however we still don’t have a set of national roadrules – individual states still singing from a different hymn book. NationalRoad Safety Week is the work of Peter Frazer who daughter Sarah wastragically killed by a truck driver in a totally avoidable crash on the HumeHighway at Mittagong in Feb 2012 when her car broke down. Tow truckdriver Geoffrey Clark and Sarah were loading her car when they were killedby the passing truck. Soon after N.S.W. expanded the road rule requiringdrivers to slow down to 40km/h for emergency responders to also includetow truck and roadside assistance workers. Amazingly, Victoria onlyannounced this week that from July 1 the current road rule requiringdrivers and motorcycle riders to slow down to 40km/h for police, fire, andambulance would be expanded - now including tow trucks, roadsideassistance and incident response vehicles displaying flashing lights. Itbeggars’ belief that after Sarah Frazer’s tragic death in 2012 it’s takenVictoria 13 years to implement a road rule which surely should have beennational road rule from Day 1.

Episode 19 touches on the bizarre reasons why the City of Winnipeg isn't advertising a Public Works Committee event, more federal election campaign news and views, and more evidence Elections Canada is trying to deceive the public that their "preventative measures" stop non-citizens from getting a ballot and voting.Part 1- Late on Wednesday, a City of Winnipeg representative emailed Marty Gold about his Sun column, Public Works presentation on Bike Lanes, Lower Speed Limits Kept Hush-Hush.The column revealed that while the Saturday morning event is framed as a “robust presentation” about the $96 Million councillors intend to spend on “Active Transportation and Road Safety in the next 6 years,” the people running the show seem to only want to hear from supporters and beneficiaries of their plans. Case in point- Committee Chair Janice Lukes specifically invited the bike lobby, but not WiseUP Winnipeg that represents 14,000 drivers. As Todd Dube suggested, that's one way politicians can use tax dollars to set up a robust echo chamber."It is not a Public Service-led event, and we do not promote information sessions organized and led by an elected official," explained the email. If you think that doesn't make sense, wait till you hear the rest of the explanation of how "there is no component of public engagement or feedback-seeking at this event" and how Marty responded. 20.15 Part 2 starts off with some reaction to Sun columns. Hear comments on the Public Works info session, the injection site Town Hall held by Point Douglas residents, and the passing of Con Lynch, a venerated North Kildonan teacher with a deep connection to Marty's family.27.15 - Listeners and readers contribute tips and observations about the state of the federal campaign. Prospects for the NDP are looking bleak while the Conservatives are finally allowing local candidates to speak for themselves. Meanwhile, the Jew-haters have made their presence felt in Tuxedo, targeting Jewish Tory incumbent Marty Morantz. 34.10 Part 3 - A recent correspondence from Elections Canada revealed how the agency tries to fool Canadians into believing their lax ID practices don't open the door to non-citizens being handed a ballot. Listen to the Elections Canada memo sent to encourage tax preparers to add clients to the voting list.
