That's a wrap for 2022. The ROADwhyz team had a bit to deal with this year including the dreaded COVID 19 lockdowns and cancellations. We managed to present to 15 high schools throughout Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. We also held two free community events, one in Newcastle where 60 people attended and one in Maitland where 50 people attended, both held as part of Rural road safety month. We also managed a couple of trade colleges in Maitland. All up The ROADwhyz team presented to approximately 3000 current and potential young drivers as well as a few full licenced drivers. On a personal note I was proud to receive the OAM for my work with road safety and community but it would not be possible without the passionate support of all the first responder's who volunteer their time to present a powerful message about 'Choice & Consequence'. This is what makes ROADwhyz what it is. We look forward to returning to our school in 2023.

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to pop in and say a huge THANK YOU to the schools who were able to hold their presentations this year before the world changed due to COVID. It’s certainly been a bit crazy, our presentations dropped down to just a few, but at least we got to present to some and hopefully changed a few behaviours and attitudes. Nothing much to report in numbers or milestones for the program but at least we hung in there and did a few.
The RW team was rocked ...

A powerful poem sgared by a retired Seargent of teh NSW Police Force
ALONG THE ROAD.
Along the road you’ll see them, reminders of the loss,
Some flowers tied up to a tree and always there’s a cross,
You’ll see them on a highway or on a country lane,
I’ve seen them on some city streets, a souvenir of pain.
They’ll mostly be around a bend or where the road goes straight,
The reason for them being there is...

10 years ago today I lost my beautiful sons, Georgia Amess lost her big brothers, Todd Davis lost his step sons and many friends lost their best mate.

In lieu of a physical trip I decided to share our story, introduce m...
