Developed by the Amy
Gillett Foundation and launched on 15 August
2007, Road-Right is the first program of its kind designed
to heighten car learner driver awareness of bicyclists on
Australian roads.
It also provides an innovative
opportunity for accredited driving instructors to win monthly
petrol vouchers to the value of $500 each.
When visiting the Road-Right
Amy Gillet Foundation Safe Tegether website
(www.amygillett.org.au)
learner drivers will be asked a series of questions pertaining
to cyclists and motorists sharing the road. If answered
correctly, learner driver details will be placed in prize
draws for instant, monthly and yearly prizes. These
include:
- A Volvo C30 S car as the major prize
(valued at $34,450 plus on road costs)
- Everlast gift vouchers (street wear fashion
label) - two per year, to the value of $1,000 each
- Malvern Star bikes and Rosebank helmets
- two per year, to the value of $1,000 each
- Oakley product packs - four per year,
to the value of $500 each
- Hog's Breath Café vouchers ––
two per year, to the value of $500 each
- BlueSkyFrog Bugz (ring tone, wallpapers)
- 12,000 to be won instantly
Accredited driving instructors
can also win! When learner drivers register online they
will have the opportunity to provide the name and contact
details of their accredited driving instructor. Each
month the accredited instructor, with the highest number of
nominations, will be in the running to win a $500 petrol voucher.
That's an opportunity for instructors to win $500 worth of
fuel each month! Remember: learner drivers can enter
the online competition as often as they like.
What should you do?
Encourage your students to visit the Road-Right
website (www.amygillett.org.au)
and enter your name and contact details so they can nominate
you. You will then be in the running to win the free
fuel.
Most importantly, you will
also be encouraging your students to visit an informative
website with an important road safety message that will ultimately
make them more aware of bicyclists sharing our roads.
Road-Right is
supported by various State and Territory licensing authorities
and by each of the Australian Driver Trainer Associations.
