Madam, – In response to Deirdre Mooney’s letter of April 28th, I would like to make it clear that the RSA, supported by the Irish Insurance Federation, does in fact have a Rules of the Road TV campaign currently on air.
The “Better Safer Driver” campaign includes five TV commercials designed to improve driver skills when performing the most dangerous manoeuvres on the roads. They also focus on rural national and secondary roads, which have the highest death rates. The topics include safe overtaking; driving on bends; making a right turn; keeping your distance; and motorway driving.
The ads can be viewed on line at www.rulesoftheroad.ie. A new commercial on roundabouts will be screened later in the year. – Yours, etc,
NOEL BRETT,
CEO,
