Young voices lead the way in road safety

RACT congratulates the winners of the Student Poster Competition. Their artwork and dedication to road safety advocacy exemplify the importance of “Road Safety – Everyone’s Responsibility”

This year, during National Road Safety Week, RACT proudly supported the Road Safety Advisory Council’s initiative aimed at engaging young Tasmanians in road safety advocacy. The Student Poster Competition, open to students in Grades 10, 11 and 12, centred on the themes “Road Safety – Everyone’s Responsibility” and “Drive so Others Survive”.

This competition encouraged students to creatively express the critical role each person plays in creating safer roads. The resulting artwork was not only impactful and inspiring but also highlighted the students’ deep understanding of and commitment to road safety.
