On the 15th of May, the year 10’s took a trip to Camp Clayton, having the privilege to experience the Rotary club’s Youth Driver Awareness Program. Learning how your personality affects your driving and the consequences of risk taking, things that may seem little can cause you to think about what might happen if you find yourself in certain situations. From learning stats on deaths in Australia through road crashes, to realising just how much your reaction time can be a life changing matter for someone, whether it be yourself, your passenger or simply a pedestrian going about their day. Listening to some confronting horror experiences made it very apparent that most young drivers can be reckless and that no one gets a second chance. The motto on the wristbands we were given ‘My Life My Choices’ is a good reminder of how dangerous driving can actually be. We thank the school and the Rotary Clubs of Devonport North and Ulverstone for making this opportunity possible.
