The Road Safety Authority (RSA) has launched its largest-ever college road safety education programme, at University College Dublin’s Freshers Week, writes Brian Byrne.
Over seven weeks, the RSA team will visit 23 third-level institutions nationwide, providing students with interactive and practical road safety experiences.
Students will participate in immersive activities that highlight the risks of drink and drug driving, tiredness, distraction, and not wearing a seatbelt. The experience will use Drink & Drug Driving Goggles, VR Headsets and Breathalyser Units. High-visibility giveaways will encourage safe walking and cycling, especially at night.
One in five road fatalities involves people between 16 and 25.
