The mangled remains of crashed cars are on display along the main Dublin-Belfast road today in an effort to persuade motorists to slow down.

Gardai and local authorities have placed several of the vehicles, all of which have been involved in serious non-fatal accidents, on the roadside outside Dundalk.

The initiative is intended to bring home the consequences of high-speed collisions and is part of a wider Government campaign to cut road deaths from last year's total of 415.
