Mayo County Council in association with AXA Insurance is issuing an invitation to the public to attend at the AXA/Mayo Road Safety Roadshow on February 9 2012 at the TF Royal Theatre in Castlebar.
Noel Gibbons, road safety officer, Mayo County Council, explains: “The Roadshow has been running in Mayo since 2007 and has proved to be very informative. It depicts graphically how a night out ended in tragedy and permanent disability for one young driver.
“The Roadshow is aimed at transition year students and the objective of the show is to encourage young drivers, and those about to commence their driving career to adopt a more responsible attitude in terms of their own driving behaviour. The consequences should they fail to do so will be clearly and graphically demonstrated.
“During the show, young people will have an opportunity to benefit from presentations made by An Garda Síochána, Ambulance Service, Fire Service, a consultant based within A&E Department in Castlebar General, a family member of a deceased road traffic accident victim, and a car crash survivor.
“We believe that this is a very worthwhile event, which will hopefully leave a lasting positive impression on the young people present. There will be two sessions of the shows – the first show will commence at 10.45am sharp, and the second show will commence at 1.45pm sharp.”
