Safe road users

“We make safe decisions both before we get in the car and while we are on the road.”

Safe road users are what we want everyone using Aotearoa roads to be. There are so many road user behaviours that make up a safe road user and it is our mission to see everyone adopt these behaviours and encourage others to do the same.

  • Impairment free driving

  • No distractions

  • Driving to the conditions

  • Safe speeds

  • Seatbelts and child restraints

  • Safe active transport

The Influencers

Create posters to display around the school that include photos and quotes from influential people stating why they wouldn’t drink drive.

Challenge participants to complete a task under different time conditions to demonstrate the effect of speed on concentration and reaction times.

Create an obstacle course for students to complete. Time them first without and then with a distraction to demonstrate the dangers of being distracted. This is great for the whole school!
