The Roads 2 Survival™ program was initially developed in Australia by Dr Bill Griggs, Director of Trauma Services at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, Regional Ambulance Service Medical Officer for the SA Ambulance Service and Past President of the Australasian Trauma Society. Subsequently there has also been major input from teenagers, parents and many other concerned individuals and organisations.

The program is a community based initiative. It has been based on a number of previous initiatives from around the world, but it has been developed in Australia to address Australian issues.   The work of these other initiatives is gratefully acknowledged. Roads 2 Survival™ is not currently affiliated with any other program. 

The Parent - Young Person Safe Driving Agreement was initially trialed in Australia at Prince Alfred College (PAC) in Adelaide, South Australia. It has now been used in more than ten schools and will be used in over 30 schools this year (2005).

We are looking for other schools/agencies from all states (or even overseas) that might also be interested in being involved in further trials. We are also happy to consider affiliations with other programs which may be complementary to ours.

As an example of complimentary programs, the South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service has used the Parent - Young Person Safe Driving Agreement as part of its Road Awareness and Accident Prevention program (RAAP) - an adaptation of a program which involves emergency service personnel (and also sometimes young victims) attending schools and discussing what happens in road crashes with the students. This has been a very successful liasion. Many hundreds of agreements have been distributed to students in this way.

A number other organisations have also made use of one or other of the Roads 2 Survival agreements - some of these are mentioned on our Supporters page.

Any organisation/school/group that is interested in using any or all of the agreements is encouraged to contact us. Customised agreements with your own logo can be produced if desired.
