School programme tackles deadly e-bike risks

E-bikes and e-scooters are rapidly increasing on Australian roads, with fatal accidents rising, including two teenagers who died in Brisbane South last week when their e-bike collided with a motorbike. A new nationwide school programme from Drake Driver Awareness teaches students about safe riding laws, the dangers of modifications, peer pressure impacts, and decision-making strategies. The education focuses on brain development factors that make young people, particularly boys, more susceptible to risky behaviour and peer influence when riding these devices.
