The TAC Cup regions are all starring in a new road safety advertisement, in the TAC’s latest push to prevent road accidents.
12 TAC Cup ads will be uploaded to the TAC Cup Facebook page and on YouTube, with a prize on offer to the club whose clip attracts the most viewers online.
The videos will also be shown on TAC Cup Future Stars this season, which airs at 1:00pm on Sundays from May 11 on Channel Nine and WIN TV.
TAC Road Safety Project Coordinator Samantha Collins said each club’s clip focuses on one of the nine topics covered in the TAC’s Safer P-Platers campaign in their video, ranging from planning a way home on a night out to driving in adverse weather conditions.
“Other issues like coping with peer pressure, choosing a safe vehicle to buy and avoiding distractions such as mobile phones are all problems that young drivers face,” Ms Collins said.
“All young drivers and their parents should head to saferpplaters.com.au for hints and tips to help them on the road.
“On top of the great work from TAC Cup clubs in promoting awareness, the TAC is determined reduce road trauma for young drivers.”
Drivers aged 18-25 make up only around an eighth of Victorian licence holders, yet account for almost a quarter of road trauma across the state.
The TAC has sponsored the TAC Cup since its initiation in 1992, one of Australian sport’s longest-running partnerships.
