StreetSmart 2009 - Smarter Safer Drivers

On March 24th, Matthew Baldock took part in the Royal Automobile Association (RAA) StreetSmart event held at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. This event involved the presentation of road safety information and messages to an audience of around 3,500 South Australian high school students.

Matthews presentation, on behalf of the SA Motor Accident Commission, featured demonstrations of the difference in stopping distance at different travel speeds, and emphasised the dangers of low level speeding.

Dukes Highway Road Safety Summit

The Coorong District Council called a road safety summit in November 2008 to discuss the fatal and serious road crashes occurring on the Dukes Highway.

The summit was held at the Tintinara War Memorial Hall on 19 November 2008 and was well attended by local councillors, politicians, the police, emergency services personnel and members of the community.

A CASR presentation on the characteristics of road crashes occurring on the Dukes Highway and possible countermeasures was given by Craig Kloeden along with a number of DTEI presentations.

There was a robust discussion of a number of issues and a real desire in the community to improve the road safety situation on the Dukes Highway.
