Today Pat McNeely from Drive for Life kindly came in and spent the day with us educating us about how important it is to drive safely!
I have never been so shocked in my life. People are killed everyday, due to some of the foolish and stupid people out there not wearing seat belts and showing off and not driving the way they should. Pat gave us some extreme figures about how many people die every year.
It really opened our eyes when we saw Horrific and Unbelievable images of car crash and how many injuries and how its an easy cause of death if your not careful!
We saw video clips of how this affects their families and if they survive crashes how the injuries affects the rest of their lives.
The pictures were graffic but it just shows how easily .. actually 7/10 seconds for the crash to happen!
People are careless and breaking the law all the time. They don't care or think about the consequences of their actions. Statistics show that Women are better drivers than Men!
It really opened my eyes to how important wearing a seat belt is. I can't believe that Ireland is high on the scale of Bad Driving!
One of the things which effect bad driving is Drink and Drugs Driving. A lot of people intent to drink a few and think there okay to drive home when really they are putting their lives at risk and whoever is in the car with them!
It was a really good day and.. well.. lets just say I need to practice my test before I go for the actual one!
It was a great day and i learned so much :)
