PEOPLE will have the chance to use the ‘Roll Over Simulator’ when An Garda Síochána and Road Safety Authority (RSA) bring a display and information stand to the small Tesco car park in the town centre between 10am and 6pm on this Saturday.
The interactive road safety experience simulator is highly effective in encouraging people to use safety belts.
The simulator is a car body fitted to a rotating hydraulic platform. Participants sit into the simulator and experience a half or a full rotation.

The ‘simulation’ demonstrates how it would feel if you were in a car which turned over in a collision, and the lifesaving benefits of wearing a seatbelt should this occur.
Demonstrations using life size mannequins will also show what happens to a person when they are not wearing a seatbelt.
The main aim of the Road Safety Interactive Unit is to provide the general public and other target audiences with the chance to interact with various road safety campaigns and to spread the message about the importance of road safety.
