Drink driving warning at CSU

24 MAY 2013

A stark reminder of the dangers of drink driving has been parked near busy roads at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Albury-Wodonga and Wagga Wagga. Badly damaged cars have been parked at the front entrance to CSU in Thurgoona and on Valder Way at CSU in Wagga. Posters attached to the damaged cars depict the consequences of drink driving. It is an initiative of the University’s Health Promotion Service as part of Drug Awareness Month at CSU in May. The theme for Drug Awareness Month in 2013 is ‘Drink Driving’. Health Promotion Officer Ms Coleen Pearce said, “We are attempting to remind Charles Sturt University students of the perils of drink driving on the day of, and also the day after, any event. The program for Drug Awareness Month is based on the Plan B campaign in NSW to combat drink driving. We are reinforcing the message that students need to plan ahead when they go out. Our program throughout the month includes flyers on car windscreens and behind toilet doors, covers over unattended drinks, activities with drink simulation goggles and information stalls with free merchandise. We will be also marking World No Tobacco Day on Friday 31 May.”
