Over the 6 sessions, the students heard about the numbers of young people killed and injured in road accidents; their role as a friend and peer support; the effects of fatigue, inattention, phones and music and road conditions. They experienced role play and group discussions to embed the learning and watched on as a speed and braking test challenged their understanding of braking distances.
Thanks to Anton and the team of presenters from RSE. Thank you also to Moonee Valley Council for the grant to support bus costs.
