Hollywood actress Yeoh pleads for road safety during Brussels visit

Hollywood actress Michelle Yeoh warned about the dangers of reckless driving today during a visit to Brussels. The Academy award winner was taking part in the launch of a global campaign for road safety which took place at the European Commission headquarters in Brussels.

Ireland has seen an increase in road deaths so far this year compared to the same period last year. And the Road Safety Authority is warning that up, to one hundred and sixty eight (168) lives will be lost on Irish roads this year, if current trends continue.

Michelle Yeoh said road safety is an issue that often flies under the radar, but she warned “its impact is staggering”.
