Driving the Message Home

Sixth year students were taken through their paces today with day long instruction on driving under the "Driving for Life" initiative. Among the initiatives introduced today was the use of a driving simulator where students got a real life feel for the impact that distractions can have on a drivers concentration.
With some tragic accidents this year involving young drivers it is hoped that initiatives like this may save lives and congratulations are due to Kildare Road Safety Officer Declan Keogh who organised the event.
