Programme

The bstreetsmart programme runs as a structured event designed to engage and educate young drivers and passengers on the realities of road trauma. The programme begins with a live crash re-enactment, giving students a realistic insight into the aftermath of a serious accident, including emergency response from paramedics, police, and rescue teams.

This is followed by powerful real-life testimonials from crash survivors, family members, and healthcare professionals who share their personal experiences with road trauma.
