PJ Hegarty has hosted the Road Safety Authority (RSA) Shuttlebus on one of its Limerick projects.

The interactive brings road safety education to life as part of the company's #VisionZero campaign. Inside the bus, the team experienced realistic road scenarios using simulators and virtual reality headsets. From simulating hazardous road conditions to understanding the impact of braking and road speeds, the experience highlighted the importance of safe driving.

The onboard technology, featuring simulators for cars, motorbikes, and bicycles, provided our staff with a practical way to improve their driving abilities and hazard perception skills.

The day was packed with essential lessons:

• The risks of texting while driving and driver fatigue.

• Testing reaction times with the brake reaction timer, illustrating how speed and environment affect braking distances.

• Understanding tyre safety, and emphasising that tyres are our sole contact with the road.
