Seat Belt Sheriff's lauded for their road safety commitment

Over 150,000 children have taken part in a national competition launched 10 years ago that encourages them to stay safe on the roads.

The Road Safety Authority’s annual Seat Belt Sheriff and Hi Glo Silver awards has been encouraging children to learn vital road safety skills, such as putting on their seatbelt and wearing high-visibility clothing.

Yesterday in Dublin Castle, special awards were given to more than 200 children from 10 primary schools around Ireland in recognition of the outstanding contribution they had made in keeping Ireland’s roads safe.
