2026 marked the launch of Youth Road Safety DAY, a national ‘CALL TO ACTION’ for everyone to DO SOMETHING about youth road safety. This event is held on April Fools day for a reason – we’re fooling ourselves if we think we’re supporting youth well enough in terms of road safety, the fatality rate of 18-20yo is double the national average.
