NSW Motor Accidents Authority: Arrive alive

Arrive alive – that’s the message the NSW Motor Accidents Authority (MAA) wants to send to young people in NSW as a major sponsor of NSW Law Week 2009.

NSW Law Week provides young people with the opportunity to ‘have a say about their rights’ and address issues that impact on their lives.

The MAA values the contribution of young people and wants to ensure we all have the benefit of their creativity and innovation for many years to come.

Arrive alive is their youth brand. It raises awareness of the value of life and importance of ensuring young people have the chance to make the most of what life brings.

Sadly, for some, a road accident will limit these possibilities and the MAA uses NSW Law Week to provide simple road safety advice so chances of this happening are minimised.

They also have a youth road safety website – www.Arrivealive.com.au

The events held throughout Law Week give the MAA the chance to listen to young people’s views on the law so they can develop better ways to send important road safety messages to them in the future.

Rules of the road, divorce, crimes and neighbourhood disputes are among the many aspects of our legal system that touch upon the everyday lives of Australian children and their parents - either directly or indirectly through the media.

Why Should I? makes use of cartoons, humour and group exercises to encourage primary school children to read about the law and to research it further through their school library, the Internet or by asking their parents. Available online or in hard copy.
