    Police are renewing calls for patience on the roads this holiday period, warning lives are at risk


    Fifteen people were killed in crashes between Christmas Eve and early January last summer.

    The toll has topped 11 for five consecutive years.

    National Road Policing Manager, Superintendent Stephen Greally says too many drivers are focused on getting to the front of the queue.

    He says that risk taking causes carnage on too many occasions.
