After a high number of car crashes over the Christmas and New Years’ period the founder of You Choose Youth Road Safety has shared its message for young drivers.

You Choose Youth Road Safety is Australia’s youth-led mission to change driving culture and is designed with inputs from professional educators on the importance of road safety.

In 2012 Peter’s son, Jordan, caused the deaths of four young people in a car crash in which he also died. He was speeding and under the influence of alcohol and marijuana.

Peter McGuinness told Mark Levy when drivers are on the roads they should think about loved ones before making any “impulsive decisions.”

“We should approach this as a social change issue.”

“What’s happening statistically at the moment isn’t good enough.”
