According to An Garda Siochana, "as a cyclist, you are one of the most vulnerable road users and all cyclists must take personal responsibility for their and others safety while out on the roads".

Users can experience first-hand the dangers of driving and texting and driver fatigue. They can also try the brake reaction timer to see how driving environment and speed affect braking distances.
The service also provides information on tyre safety as "tyres are your only contact with the road," according to their website.
The service is perfect for schools, colleges and companies to raise awareness on road safety and the dangers of the road.
