Garda share no-nonsense road safety message from a young citizen

You’re never too young to make a difference.

Nine-year-old Alex from Ballina wants everyone to be safer on the road and drew a picture to illustrate his views.

He sent it on to the folks who man the Garda Traffic Twitter account and, sound folks that they are, they shared it with their followers.

"Picture sent into the Garda Press Office from a young aspiring trucker," they captioned the picture. "Message is clear!"

Fair play to you young Alex - a picture paints a thousand words.

Investigations suggest we should send a BIG thanks to Alex aged 9 Ballina for sending us picture posted earlier pic.twitter.com/gPk3FLslQI
