Since 2009 we’ve been helping young people in Ireland learn to respect the roads, leading the way for a safer future.
On our roads, far too many young people are being killed or ending up with life changing injuries as a result of road collisions.
Those under 25 are overrepresented in the statistics and as a key supporter of road safety, AXA wanted to do something about this.
That’s why we developed our AXA Roadsafe Roadshows, run in conjunction with An Garda Síochána, local authorities, emergency services, A&E Consultants and relatives of road collision victims.
Our educational roadshows deliver a hard-hitting, important message about road safety to Transition Year students across Ireland. We do this through a mix of video, moving first-hand accounts and theatre. Students are exposed to the very real consequences of dangerous driving and learn they must respect the roads and drive safely.
Watch our video to see what happens at the roadshows.
“The key takeaway was to slow down because there’s no point in driving fast. And if you’re in the car with your friends, tell them to slow down as well if you don’t feel comfortable. It’s not really worth putting your family and friends through all the grief.”
"It warned me about the dangers of driving… I could immediately see the impact the stories had on everyone."
"It’s not worth going fast just to be there 5 minutes earlier. It’s just not worth it"
"It has taught me to be very cautious when I’m ready to drive."
We will take you through some things you need to know about driving lessons, the driving test, driving on the motorway and young driver car insurance.
We’ve compiled a list of useful tips that you can start incorporating into your driving habits every time you get into your car to ensure that you have a safe journey.
The team at AXA have drafted this guide on what steps you should take if you’ve unfortunately been in a car accident.
