Looking After Our Mates is an education session that aims to reduce the incidence and severity of crashes involving alcohol affected drivers, riders and pedestrians. The program aims to raise the awareness of the affects of alcohol including affects on the local community. The session lasts for about an hour and can be easily facilitated to run after training. It is enjoyable and interactive and addresses drink and drug driving as a road safety issue, the affects of alcohol on the body and performance, calculating BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration), the law and strategies to avoid drink driving and making decisions affected by alcohol. It is about acting responsibly either as an individual or a club. All clubs are urged to participate in this free program.
The main message is a simple one about responsible drinking, driving and looking after our mates.
