Year 11 students were recently visited by the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services’ (QFES) to present the Road Attitudes and Action Planning program, an initiative of operational firefighters, which provides a preventative strategy to reduce vehicle crashes by young drivers.

It encourages young people to think about road safety so that they can make informed decisions to mitigate risks and consequences by planning ahead.

The students found the presentation helpful and said that it really made them think about the consequences involved with complacency and peer pressure out on the road.
