Emergency services came together to encourage thousands of teenagers to be smarter and safer drivers, staging confronting car crash simulations to press home the potential consequences of poor decisions behind the wheel.
Almost 25,000 Year 10, 11 and 12 students have taken part in the realistic demonstrations which were part of the three-day ‘bstreetsmart’ event, an initiative of the Trauma Service at Westmead Hospital, held at Qudos Bank Arena.
FRNSW Acting Assistant Commissioner, Community Safety, Dave Felton, said the ‘bstreetsmart’ initiative was critical to developing good drivers, riders and passengers, as it demonstrated to young people how quickly and easily things could go wrong on our roads.
