It would always be considered devastating and distressing to learn about road accidents. Death tolls increased alarmingly due to car crash accidents. Despite of many advertisements about safety driving, there were still those who did not follow basic driving safety procedures. Most families were greatly affected due to personal loss, injuries and damage to property. In lieu of this, there were V8 drivers who gathered together and offered their expertise to teach driving safety methods to young school kids.
The V8 drivers felt they had an obligation to impart their knowledge about proper and safe driving. As professional car racers, they are the best in their fields. They are the ones who are the best qualified people who can discuss the importance of safety gears and safety procedures.
So they launched a young driver training program activity for schools. This was called the V8 SuperSafe. This helped in teaching the importance of safe-driving procedures, proper risk-taking methods and making positive choices while on the road. The program involved the year 10, 11 and 12 students. The program also focused about road awareness and driving skill levels. The activity also involved tactics to teach students about good decision-making, good communication and realizing the outcome of their actions. The different sessions lasted 45 minutes, some for about an hour and one and a half hours for some other sessions.
The best thing about all this was that everything was done free of charge. The programs and activities were all sponsored by V8 Supercars Australia as a public assistance community service program.
