'Driver Reviver' coffee from Topaz

Topaz service stations will be offering drivers free coffee at their premises on Friday, in a bid to cut road deaths.

Road Safety Authority research shows that over one in 10 drivers (14%) have admitted to nodding off or falling asleep while driving.

The survey of 800 drivers also found that more than half of Irish drivers (53%) attempt to fight tiredness through ineffective means such as opening windows.

The 'Driver Reviver' campaign will operate on the Friday of every Bank Holiday for the rest of the year.
