WITH MORE students driving to school, particularly Leaving Cert students during exam time, Mayo County Council has come up with a unique way to mark the exams – with a good luck card that contains the timetable of the exams and a road safety message.
Each Leaving Cert pupil in the 30 schools in Co Mayo will receive a “good luck” card from the road safety team. In the card are a number of top tips that the student can follow to ensure that they stay safe on our roads.
The card also contains a timetable of exam times and an area to record the date the student sat the Leaving Cert so this card can be kept to remember their exams and as a constant reminder of keeping safe on the road.
Noel Gibbons, the County Council’s road safety officer, says: “We want young people to be aware of the dangers and not to put themselves or their friends at risk, especially when it comes to travelling to venues with their friends.”
