A Sunbury resident’s experience with road trauma will bring a real-life focus to a safety forum being held next week.
Organised by Hume council in conjunction with police, Road Trauma Support Services and the SES, the free event will show parents and young drivers how they can be safer on the roads.
It follows a successful forum in Craigieburn.
Sunbury’s Leading Senior Constable Lee Johnson says the event will show the far-reaching effects of road trauma and help people recognise attitudes that can lead to unsafe driver behaviour.
‘‘The aim is very much to raise awareness and provide tips on road safety,’’ Leading Senior Constable Johnson said.
‘‘This is a great opportunity to share some of these things on a community level.’’
The event complements a police and council- supported program for year 11 students that is run in local schools.
The forum is at the Sunbury Youth Centre, 51-53 Evans Street, from 6.30-9.15pm on October 8. Details: 9205 2200
