Free coffee is offered at Topaz sites nationwide for motorists hitting the road for this August Bank Holiday weekend.
The Road Safety Authority and Topaz are encouraging all drivers undertaking long journeys this weekend to be aware of the dangers of driver fatigue.
As part of the 'Driver Reviver' campaign - run in conjunction with the RSA - Topaz provides free coffee to drivers on Bank Holiday Fridays at over 100 participating sites nationwide. Any drivers feeling tired are advised to pull over, grab a free coffee and have a short nap before resuming their journeys.
Topaz expects to give away up to 10,000 free coffees in total. All drivers have to do is show their car keys to staff and ask for a free coffee on this Friday 3rd of August. Posters advertising the campaign will be in place outside all participating stations.
Driver fatigue, known as the 'silent killer', is believed to be a contributory factor in up to 20 percent of road deaths in Ireland.
