Ultimately, safer roads require more than enforcement. They require individuals to recognise the consequences of their choices and have access to interventions that support meaningful behaviour change. Through continued collaboration between organisations such as AWARE.org, NICRO and JMPD, rehabilitation can form an important part of creating safer roads and reducing the risk of repeat offences. Make the Right Choice: if you’ve been drinking, don’t drive.

As we look ahead, the message is clear: reducing drinking and driving requires more than enforcement alone. It requires informed decisions, responsible behaviour and a collective commitment from government, industry, communities and individuals. Through continued collaboration, AWARE.org and JMPD remain committed to working towards safer roads and reducing alcohol-related harm.

AWARE.org’s Q3 newsletter highlights progress in preventing underage drinking, promoting safer roads and supporting sober pregnancies. From school and community programmes to coordinated law-enforcement partnerships and FASD screening and referral, this edition explores how education, research and practical support are strengthening the response to alcohol-related harm.
