Looking back on our intervention at the Lycée Technique de Lallange (LTL), focusing on road user safety issues.
On Friday, February 7, our team visited the Lycée Technique de Lallange to run a series of workshops aimed at raising awareness of road safety issues.
Among the key mobility challenges that ACL seeks to address, those concerning young people are a primary focus. At the initiative of students from the “Don’t Rush” association, our experts, Loic Schiocchet and Frank Maas, accompanied by Samantha Kridel and Laura Garofoli, gave a detailed presentation. This included road safety statistics, such as accident rates, major offenses, and the risks associated with using a phone while driving.
The presentation also covered technological innovations designed to improve driving safety, such as ABS and cruise control. Finally, the experts discussed the most appropriate driving positions to ensure safe driving.
After theory comes practice.
Being able to physically experience certain dangerous situations on the road generally has a greater impact than a simple speech. ACL therefore set up a workshop where students, using goggles that simulate the effects of alcohol, could fully grasp the dangers of drunk driving.
As a reminder, in 2023, Luxembourg recorded 8 fatal accidents and 39 serious accidents linked to driving under the influence of alcohol. According to the annual report of the Ministry of Mobility and Public Works, 26 people lost their lives in road accidents, and 347 were seriously injured. Speed, alcohol, and drugs remain the leading causes of road fatalities.
As part of the event, a member of the Technical Rescue Team Luxembourg provided students with valuable practical advice on everyday safety measures, such as how to fasten seatbelts properly, how airbags work, and the correct reflexes to adopt in the event of an accident.
Ultimately, our speakers were able to address the potentially dangerous situations students may face, with the aim of supporting them as they develop their mobility habits.
These workshops are part of ACL’s commitment to making mobility—whatever its form—as safe as possible while keeping pace with technological advancements in society.
