Road safety module for transition year
Education Minister Mary Hanafin and Transport Minister Noel Dempsey yesterday announced details of the new programme, which is being piloted in 50 post-primary schools.
It provides students with an overview of road safety for pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and motorists and covers issues such as seatbelts and airbags, driver fatigue, drink and drug driving, enforcement, basic first aid and rehabilitation.
