Road Safety Talk

Today we had a road safety talk. The talk was very interesting and although it made me scared about cars, I learned a lot. The guards showed us videos of road accidents caused by drunk driving or even tiredness. They also had statistics about the amount of deaths from road accident, which have gone down over the years.
They showed us videos that were taken by garda cars that shows cars speeding or making mistakes while driving.
 They also showed us a video about a woman talking about her daughter who got into a car with a drunk person driving and the car crashed and she died. She thought it wouldn't happen to her and she didn't wear a seatbelt. She had also had something to drink so it clouded her judgement and she got into a car with someone who was drunk.
The guards also told us stories about reckless driving and also pedestrians who walk out in front of cars.
The talk was very interesting and although it was on a sad topic it is good to know as we will be starting to learn to drive soon.
