Primary School Road Safety Awareness ProgramThis award-winning road safety program was developed in response to growing concerns about driver, pedestrian, and cyclist distraction, and in particular the increasing number of children being injured or killed in road-related incidents — including tragic accidents occurring in home driveways.
While many road safety campaigns focus on adult road users, there are very few programs specifically designed for primary school–aged children. Panache Driver Training identified this critical gap and created a program tailored to young learners, using age-appropriate language, visuals, and real-world examples.
The owner of Panache Driver Training is a former professional truck driver with over 20 years of experience, and has witnessed far too many avoidable accidents caused by distraction, inattention, or lack of awareness — from both drivers and vulnerable road users.
Program Overview: Panache Driver Training visits schools to deliver an interactive road safety presentation during a school assembly or classroom session.
Using a combination of:
Key Learning Areas: The presentation highlights common distraction risks, including:
The goal is not to frighten children, but to educate, empower, and encourage safer choices around roads, driveways, and traffic environments.
Simple Setup for Schools. The setup is minimal and flexible:
Recognition & Impact: We are highly honoured to have this program recognised at the 6th Australian Road Safety Awards, which acknowledge our contribution to improving road safety awareness among young Australians.
While Panache Driver Training may be a small organisation within the broader road safety community, we are proud to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of the students and communities we work with.
Enquiries: If you would like to learn more about how this program could benefit your school, we invite you to contact Panache Driver Training to discuss availability and delivery options.
Together, we can help keep children safer around our roads.
