Be safe this Bank Holiday Weekend
Someone dies every June Bank Holiday weekend, make this one different
Stay safe on the roads this bank holiday weekend, don’t become another young person that is needlessly killed on Irish roads.
The Road Safety Authority (RSA) and the Union of Students in Ireland are pleading with you to use the roads safely this June bank holiday weekend. As you are now on your Summer holidays, you will be using the roads more frequently. When out and about stay safe, slow down, and make it home.
Too many young people die on our roads. These people are sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, friends and students, just like you. As the bank holiday weekends approach, think about how you use the roads. Using the roads is the most dangerous thing we do every day. If there are changes you could make to be safer on the roads, make them. This could be the change that saves your life.
Seatbelts are proven life-savers. If you crash, and you are not wearing a seatbelt, you will be thrown around the car injuring or killing other passengers or could be thrown out of the car altogether. Without a seatbelt, it could be you that kills others in the car.
When out socialising this June bank holiday weekend, remember to never ever drive after you’ve been drinking. Leave your car at home if you are going drinking, get a taxi, bus or lift with a friend that has not been drinking or taking drugs.
If the Irish weather holds up, and you are out cycling walking this June bank holiday weekend make sure you can be seen. Don’t get caught out in the dark, wear something reflective. Remember, a car cannot avoid what they cannot see.
