Buderus assists driving campaign
Wednesday, 8 September 2004
TAREE has enlisted the help of one of their favourite sons in the production of a campaign to target young drivers and speeding.
Newcastle Knights and New South Wales State of Origin captain Danny Buderus is the spokesperson for the local 'Don't Lose It!' campaign.
The campaign, part of Taree's Arrive Alive project, aims to get across the very important message that too many young lives are lost on the road due to speeding.
Danny has been working closely with Greater Taree City Council's youth development officer Deb Steele and a team of nine young people.
The team has been meeting weekly to work on designing the television, radio and poster campaign targeting young drivers and speeding.
Filming has been completed and the campaign will go to air from September 25.
"The support from the community in terms of making the advertisement has been fantastic," Ms Steele said.
"The Arrive Alive Team thank friends and parents who have provided the use of their homes, cars and hours on the weekends to assist with the filming.
"Thanks also to council staff assisted with traffic control and the Taree Police and local businesses who have committed to providing assistance and support for the project launch."
The committee is now focused on coordinating the Cruze Fest - a youth focused music event to launch the Arrive Alive campaign on September 25 at the Taree PCYC.
The Cruze Fest will feature local talent contesting a Battle of the Bands competition.
The event will commence at 4pm and will be a great night of music, fun and giveaways promoting the road safety message.
I just saw this add the other day. I knew it would air in Port Macquarie as well.
I'm was really dissapointed to hear that a P plater dies every 6 days in NSW and 17 will crash every day.
Something needs to be done and I agree with the curfew. If it's going to save our youth then why not. Before you say what about work? what about emergancies? They won't get done for it.
I just feel we need to do something quick.
What do you guys think of the curfew or what other ideas is there?
