Exam result revellers urged to agree on safe driving plans

LEAVING Certificate revellers are being urged to agree on safe driving plans this evening if celebrations include travel by car.

With more than 55,000 young people receiving exam results, road safety chiefs are advising parents to make agreements with their children if they are driving, or a passenger in a vehicle when going out.

Parents and their children should make agreements or promises on responsible driving, said the Road Safety Authority (RSA). The agreement could keep young drivers away from situations that would most likely lead to crashes.
