EUROA'S young drivers have an opportunity to fine-tune their attitude to road safety by attending a confronting presentation on Wednesday, 12 March.
The Cool Heads Initiative has been designed to use real life and shocking cases of road accidents to challenge drivers aged 16 to mid-20s about their personal road safety and driving skills.
Leading Senior Constable Lucas Paul of Euroa police said a range of speakers would talk at the event to highlight the consequences of unsafe driving.
"Guest speakers will include some form Ambulance Victoria, the SES, and persons who have had losses firsthand as well," LSC Paul said.
"In the last six months, there have been a couple of local fatalities and serious injuries in the area and these things have a huge, huge impact on the town."
The popular program is used in Shepparton as court-ordered training for driving offenders and was first brought to Euroa in 2018 by LSC Paul who said it was now due to return for the next cohort of young drivers.
The program is designed to shock young drivers to understand the consequences of unsafe driving.
"It is very confronting; it's going to be in your face," LSC Paul said.
Details: Wednesday, 12 March 7pm-9pm, at Euroa Community Cinema, 1B Bury Street, Euroa
