b'The (SA)MFS Road Awareness Program (RAP) Coordinator Rod Campbell tells Jodie & Soda the program has had a large, measurable impact on young road users.

In the previous five years prior to 2011 the South Australian road toll averaged 20 fatalities each year in the 16-19 year age group. In 2011 this number dropped to six, followed by seven in 2012; two in 2013 and four in 2014.

The Road Awareness Program (RAP) has been operating in South Australia since 2005 and is targeted at Year 11 students - and their parents.'
