A Guide To Road Safety

[ThaFlash]

This is probably one of the most Road Safety Conscious car related forums I have come across.

A lot of people here know what they are talking about and a lot feel passionately about
road safety.

There is also an element of criticism towards the law makers, upholders of the law and the
likes of media or organisations that push their agenda, what ever that may be.

I would also say pretty much every (important) aspect of road safety has been covered here in one thread or another.

In some threads there seems to be genuine concerns about saving lives on our bloody streets, but no one
really knows how to save lives.

I have noticed some threads cover Driving Courses in them, whether it be defensive or advanced and I am
sensing there is some merit in doing some kind of driving course.

It looks like Driving Courses are about attitude as much as driving skill.

*On the premise that Driving Courses can actually help save lives or injuries on our roads, I propose the following...


1. That we get a sticky thread out of it.
2. Theory taken from a Driving Course (less the plagiarism) like a top 10 tips to help with your driving or similar.
3. A listing of relevant Driving Courses in all states and territories.
4. Any instructors out there to assist with this thread by actually providing some useful life saving info.
5. Perhaps some video footage of driving scenarios and how to deal with them.


We need the AFF head honchos to get this started, because I believe it would be remiss of AFF not to have something like
this given the nature of this forum and the amount of people it reaches, one way or another.
It would be along the same lines as all the charities you guys support by various means and for a car forum like this
to show this kind responsibility and community spirit (being family oriented) would put AFF into a class all of their own.
And I do mean CLASS!

This thread should be like the title suggests "A Guide To Road Safety" and that relevent and where possible proven information
is disseminated to help improve our attitudes and to put into practice that which we learn here.

After all, we are all here to enjoy our rides, but we can't do it if we are dead or injured.

Who's with me on this?

*my personal view is different and at the same time irrelevant!
