| Child
Car Seat Awareness Seen by Tens of Thousands at Forestside
Shopping Centre |
|
 17th April: Forestside Shopping Centre, Galwally.
Tens of thousands of shoppers were given the opportunity
to see how to correctly fit a child car seat in the
Forestside Shopping Centre today.
The purpose of the event was to provide the public
with advice on the fitting and usage of safety seats.
Recent surveys have indicated that up to 80% of child
safety seats had faults in their fitting.
The event was run thanks to the help of the Forestside
Shopping Centre Management, the Department of the
Environment Road Safety Education Team, Halfords and
volunteers and staff of the Road Safety Council of
Northern Ireland.
A family vehicle in the centre
with safety seats supplied by Halfords was available
with trained staff from Halfords providing fitting
and selection advice. DoE Road Safety offered appropriate
advice and literature on this and other road safety
issues.
Pictured above are Stewart Patrick and Josh Graham
from Xtreme
Ice assisted by Karen Scott from Halfords.

Mitchell
 Wednesday
24th March saw a full turn out from committees across
the province as 21 teams went head to head at the
annual Road Safety Quiz for 2004 in the Europa Hotel,
Belfast.
After six rounds of general knowledge and road safety
questions it was a close finish that brought past
winners Foyle & District up against Lisburn City.
The Grand Final saw another very close competition
with speed of buzzers deciding the outcome of Lisburn
taking the title, just pipping Foyle and District.
