Drive Aware - Sean O'Connor - Bog

"Safer roads for a safer society" - This has been the driving principle behind the ambitious initiative known as the Drive Aware program in Ireland. As the country grapples with the ever-present challenge of road safety, there is a growing recognition of the need to address the root causes of accidents and fatalities on the roads. Impaired, dangerous, and careless driving behaviours account for a significant proportion of road-related tragedies, making it imperative to take proactive measures to promote responsible driving.
This book delves into the realm of driving awareness in Ireland and explores the Drive Aware program, an innovative and comprehensive initiative designed to foster positive changes in attitudes and behaviours related to alcohol and drug usage, dangerous driving, and carelessness behind the wheel. Through a combination of education, community engagement, legislative measures, and international best practices, the Drive Aware program seeks to create a profound impact on re-offending rates while providing participants with invaluable knowledge and insights into road safety.
