As we rapidly approach the age where we learn to drive, this Health assessment has added to and reinforced our knowledge of driving safety.

What were the biggest things you learned while at the RACbstreetsmart excursion?	I learnt about the impacts of unsafe driving practises, the stories of people who’ve been affected by accidents, and strategies to prevent those accidents
What one piece of advice would you pass on to young drivers above all else? Why?	Ease into driving slowly, don’t try new things (e.g. driving at night) without having much experience, nor feeling 100% comfortable with your current driving ability.

I will stick to this by replacing distracting music with either a background music playlist or silence
