Victoria Police Young Driver Program ‘Coolheads’ will be held at Alexandra Football and Netball Club, on Wednesday, September 6.

The program starts at 7pm and runs for approximately two hours.

It is a thought-provoking, confronting and informative road safety program, with advice on a wide range of topics for young drivers.

Attendees can expect to hear from emergency services that have worked with road trauma and families that have experienced it.

The event is to help young drivers recognise poor behaviour and help prevent further trauma on our roads.

The program is not about teaching young people how to drive; it is about highlighting the real consequences of distraction and risk-taking while driving to improve the attitude of young people on the roads.

The death or serious injury of local young people on our roads has had a devastating impact on families and ripples out to friends, local communities, schools and sporting clubs.

It is a free event; however, spaces are limited. Register at CoolHeads Young Driver Program.
