The importance of road safety is the lesson local Gardaí will be driving home to Transition Year students in Kilkenny today.
The annual Road Safety Show is taking place in the Watergate Theatre today and tomorrow.
Hundreds of secondary school students will be shown videos and statistics about what happens during a collision as well as the do’s and don’ts while driving.
Traffic Inspector for Carlow/Kilkenny, Anthony Farrell, will be giving some of the presentations today.
He told KCLR News, some of what’s being shown won’t be for the faint-hearted.
He says it’s hugely important for young people to learn what can happen when road safety is ignored.
