Gold Coast police are working to S.A.V.E young driver’s lives with a driver awareness program called Survive, Alive, Victim, Expo (S.A.V.E.).
The project aims to provide road safety messages to Year 11 and 12 students with a visual staged mock-up of a fatal road crash with role playing by police and other emergency services.
A mock fatal traffic crash docudrama was played out for senior students at the Palm Beach Currumbin State School today.
Senior Constable Tracey Bailey said this is a visual reminder and teaching tool for young people to recognise and see first-hand what occurs and the effects of a fatal road crash.
The S. A.V E project aims to draw the students’ attention to the importance of road safety and the possible results of irresponsible behaviour on our roads.
From 2014 to 2017 nine people aged between 17 and 24 years have lost their lives in traffic crashes on Gold Coast roads.
