2021 wrap up!

The F2D Year 11 Workshop is proudly supported by TAC and VicRoads to bring road safety education to Victorian education providers and young road users.

Road trauma doesn’t discriminate so please take care this festive season.

As we come out of lockdown, many of us will be driving long distances. Here are a handful of safe driving tips to remind us to be safer on the roads. We all have something to look forward to when we get home. So let’s be the reason everyone gets home safely. #BeTheReason

The F2D year 11 workshop proudly sponsored by TAC and VicRoads is back!

With the current road toll for 2021 at 200, the F2D year 11 workshop reminds us how important it is to keep distractions away, have strategies to get home safely and speak up when you feel unsafe!

[Fit to Drive Foundation @F2DFoundation]

Fatal crashes on the road affect communities forever. Now more than ever it is so important to look for ourselves and our mates on the roads.

Whether you are a driver, passenger or other road user you can make a difference.

[TAC @TACVictoria]

The tragic deaths of five people on our roads on the weekend has seen number of lives lost this year reach 200, compared with 183 at the same time last year.
That’s 200 families, work places and communities forever mourning the senseless death of a loved one.

[TAC @TACVictoria]

Time for Remembering - a ceremony commemorating loved ones lost and injured on our roads, and paying tribute to all who work to make our roads safer.

Coming out of lockdown this is a must read article!

Hear what our CEO, Brad Crofts, has to say about the safety of our young road users...

"There may be a short-term spike in terms of lives lost," @F2DFoundation

Their CEO & @MUARCresearch spoke to @RichelleHunt & @jonnokendall about young drivers returning to the road after a "significant break" due to COVID restrictions.

Walking & cycling are central to an efficient, safe transport system - we are investing heavily, building more than 350km of shared paths & pop-up bike lanes. It’s good to see the federal gov speaking to its importance, and I look forward to them backing it with funding.
