Mal , one of men in charge of this program told me a story about a group of young people in Hastings that were at a party, all had been drinking and were going to another party, all got int he car and saw the P-Plate and the picture of a girl that had died in a car accident , all decided to get out of the car and call there parents to take them to the party, Mal said 2 parents rang him and told them what they had done, and thanked him because it was there program that they ran at Mornington secondary Schools that made the young people change there mind and possibly could of saved them from a serious accident.
