Well, it’s December with Christmas just around the corner, where did the year go? A lot of us will hop in the car in the next few weeks and head off for parts unknown to share the holidays with family and friends, to swap presents, to share a few drinkies, to generally just have a good time – and why not??
But, unfortunately, this year, like years previous, too many people will die on the roads. With lots of people on the road there will be lots off accidents, some caused by excessive speed, some caused by the excessive tiredness of the driver and some caused by the driver having had too many drinks.
This year a very intense TV commercial has been produced which brings home the terrible consequences of drinking and driving.
You can see it HERE.
Look at it and show it to as many people as you can, let’s hope the number of accidents this year is less than last year.
We at the Radschool Association would like to wish you a happy and healthy Christmas period, and a wonderful New Year.
We look forward to seeing you all again in 2012. |
