bstreetsmart

bstreetsmart engages young people on safe driving and promotes safe behaviour as drivers, riders and passengers.

Due to Covid 19, bstreetsmart is unable to hold the live event so this year we are holding an online Incursion available to all schools in Australia.

We are now running the event as a free online incursion on the 11th, 18th and 25 August

We're glad to hear that @SamHarkus. Even 1 life lost to #roadtrauma is 1 too many. We want our young adults to make #smartchoices and speak up if the driver isn't driving safely. It sounds like your 17yo will do just that. He may just save a life. #drivesafely

[Sam Harkus @SamHarkus]

17 yo son has just been talking in detail about the @bstreetsmart young driver safety event he went to today.

Brilliant initiative of the Trauma Service at Westmead Hospital:

‘Aims to reduce fatality & injury rates of young people thru safer driver, rider & passenger behaviour’

@priestley608 Dr Ken has given years to educating people. From new doctors in hospitals to @AustralianArmy Medics prior to deployment to the young adults @bstreetsmart . We greatly appreciate his passion & enthusiasm 4 sharing knowledge, not just about #roadsafety but #savinglives in general

[Mark Priestley FANZCA etc @priestley608]

This is a guy who was winning education awards decades ago and has still got it- go Ken!

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

Dr Ken is wrapping up bstreetsmart 2019. We're not saying don't drive. We're saying #drivesafely, make #smartchoices and #getyourhandoffit. A licence is a privilege and with that comes responsibility. #TowardsZero

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

@LTrentDriving is demonstrating braking distances at 40, 50 and 60km per hour. Doubling your speed quadruples your stopping distance. 10km/h over the limit is not ok. #dontspeed #drivesafely

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

Kaitlyn is speaking about how, as a passenger in a car, she was left with paraplegia as a result of a #carcrash. As a passenger, you can make #smartchoices. If you don't feel safe in a car #speakup or #getout and call someone to get you. #dontspeed #drivesafely

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

The 2019 winner of this years bfilmed competition is Macarthur Girls High School with their film "Choice". Congratulations and thank you for helping us spread the #roadsafety message. #getyourhandoffit

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

Here are the last but certainly not least of our interactive displays. During their lunch break the young adults get to look at and experience many aspects of the #roadsafety and #roadtrauma.

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

Alyssa and Qaa'im are sharing their stories about living with a #braininjury. Both of these amazing young people are victims of #roadtrauma and want everyone to make #smartchoices whether you are a driver, rider or passenger. #dontspeed #drivesafely #getyourhandoffit

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

The 8,000 young adults are learning what happens if you are responsible for a serious crash. We show them what happens at the #Police station and at court. #dontdrinkanddrive #beltup in the car and #getyourhandoffit

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

Here's 3 more of our interactive display partners helping us spread the #roadsafety message. If you drive or ride, you have a responsibility to your passengers, other #roadusers and your family. #getyourhandoffit #TowardsZero

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

Dr Ken Harrison is talking to 8,000 young adults about making #wisechoices for #roadsafety to prevent #roadtrauma. Dr Ken works at Westmead Hospital and wants to reduce his workload by promoting #roadsafety. #beltup in the car and #getyourhandoffit #TowardsZero

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

We couldn't run @bstreetsmart without an amazing team of #volunteers helping us. They ensure the 8,000 young adults get to their seats and provide support where needed. They come from all walks of life, not just #emergencyservices and #nursing. #roadsafety #getyourhandoffit

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

@OLMCpastoral Thanks @OLMCpastoral for bringing your students to @bstreetsmart 2019. We hope they take on board our message of #roadsafety and #wisechoices and don't become one of the #roadtoll statistics. #getyourhandoffit

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

It's quiet here @qudosbankarena on the final day of bstreetsmart 2019. We're expecting another 8,000 young adults today to learn about #roadsafety and #smartchoices. We'll be kicking off in 2 hours with our crash simulation. #getyourhandoffit

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

@PrairiewoodHigh Thanks for bringing your young adults along to bstreetsmart @PrairiewoodHigh. Every young life matters and we all need to play our part in #roadsafety. #getyourhandoffit #TowardsZero

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

Thanks for coming GRC Hurstville Boys. We hope our #roadsafety message resonates with your students. #getyourhandoffit #smartchoices

[GRC Hurstville Boys @GRCHurstvilleB]

Our Year 10 boys enjoyed the exceptional educational experience of @bstreetsmart today @qudosbankarena! Developing further understanding of their responsibilities on the roads as young adults @grcfrankabas

[bstreetsmart @bstreetsmart]

And we couldn't have reached those 200,000 students without the staff of @WestSydHealth giving up their time to help spread the #roadsafety message. #roadtrauma #smartchoices

[Western Sydney Health @WestSydHealth]

There was total silence at @qudosbankarena today as thousands of students watched a dramatic car crash scenario unfold as part of this year's @bstreetsmart forum. The road safety event has now been attended by more than 200,000 kids! https://t.co/B5eqISEUpT
