Have you noticed more cars on the roads recently?

Covid-19 travel restrictions have been lifted and with that has come increased traffic volumes.

This in turn has caused a reported increase of 36% in traffic incidents on the roads last week, according to AA Roadwatch.

AA Roadwatch has also reported an increase in congestion, especially in the morning, with city traffic picking up a bit earlier.

Paddy Comyn, Head of Communications with AA Ireland joined The Last Word to discuss.
