NW students to attend Road Safe
Road Show
09.10.17
Over 3,000 young people
from Donegal, Derry and Tyrone will attend this
week’s Road Safe Road Show in the Aura Leisure
Centre Letterkenny.
The Road Safe Road Show is a unique partnership
between Donegal County Council and members of the
Donegal Road Safety Working Group which provides a
platform to positively influence the driving
behaviour of young students as they commence their
driving careers. |

The show will be seen
by over 3,000 students from the County's
twenty-seven post-primary schools and six Youthreach
centres and the show continues to receive excellent
support from schools in Northern Ireland with the
Police Service of Northern Ireland assisting with
the registration of over 900 students to attend from
Derry and Tyrone.
“It is a sad fact that almost everyone in this
county knows someone who was killed or seriously
injured in road traffic collisions in Donegal. This
show offers our young people the opportunity to
learn about the consequences of poor driving
behaviour on our roads. Our hope is that this show
will have a positive influence on them and help to
keep them safe on our roads in the future", said
Brian O’Donnell, road safety officer with Donegal
County Council.
To date 118 people have lost their lives as result
of a road traffic collision, five of these on
Donegal’s roads. The Road Safe Show road safety
message is being delivered to Donegal, Derry and
Tyrone students in the Aura Leisure Centre
Letterkenny on Tuesday 10th October at 11.00am and
1.30pm with a further show on Wednesday 11th October
at 11.00am. |
