Road Safety Authority

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) will be attending this years Ploughing Championships.

The RSA will be opening up their ‘Road Safety Interactive Shuttle’ to the public which plays an integral role in increasing and developing road safety awareness at local and national level.

The Shuttle has been fitted out and designed to the highest standard to include the following:

• A fully interactive, educational road safety experience
• A driving simulator enclosed in a specially designed pod where people can test their driving skills under a variety of conditions
• Motorbike and bike simulators
• Reaction timers
• Practice your driver theory test
• Plasma screens showing a series of road safety advertisements

In addition to the shuttle, RSA will have their Roll-over Simulator which shows you the effects of being suspended by your seat belt.

After this demonstration, you will never travel in a car without a seat belt on!

The RSA will also be distributing 40,000 FREE High Visibility Vests in association with the Irish Farmers Journal and FBD Insurance at this year’s National and European Ploughing Championships.

The safety drive is part of the RSA’s continued commitment to educating vulnerable road users on how to stay safe on the roads.
