Yesterday on Monday 29th of November we had a 3 hour presentation about road safety and how to stay safe when driving.

We were shown adverts about how to be safe when driving, Austrailia produce the best adverts as they are graphic and show what would really happen in a certain situation. E.g. Drink driving, drug driving etc. However, the British adverts that make people aware of road safety are not very effective as they don't show the full effect of a RTC (road traffic collision) or the effects of drink/drug driving.

Towards the end of the presentation, we were told about a woman called Jaqueline Saburido. This woman was in a RTC and survived, however, her face was disfigured and she can't live everyday by herself. After this, we were advised about taking an advanced driving course and the skid control course to ensure we are safe on the roads and to help us by having lower insurance.
