What Arrive alive means to me
Presenting the Arrive Alive message to students is a great opportunity for me to be able to share my experience with students. My life changed in a matter of seconds and I live with the consequence everyday. The Arrive Alive message is important for students to understand the risks that are involved when driving on and off the road. Making the wrong choice of speeding, drink driving, not wearing seatbelts and driving fatigued may result in permanent injury or death. Arrive Alive Roadshow presentations aim to educate student�s awareness that a wrong choice may have a severe consequence.
