Free resources

Hi Everyone,

Here at Akilla we are working hard to create some free resources for schools, teachers, mothers, truckers, taxi drivers and anyone else who has an interest in learning more about drowsy driving.

The first thing we have created is an A4 print out for schools (or anyone else) to use, so please tell anyone you know who you think may be interested.



If you do use the poster please let us know by emailing a.killa@hotmail.co.nz, commenting our blog or sending us a message on twitter (www.twitter.com/akillanz), we would also love to hear any feedback you have for us

Good kids crash

What does good kids crash mean? It means that often when there is a car accident involving drowsy driving it is the 'good kids' who are the ones that are behind the wheel.
This is because these kids are the sober drivers often driving themselves and their friends home from parties late at night.

These kids are sober but unfortunatly they don't know about the dangers of drowsy driving, leaving parents baffled at how their good kids could get into such horrible car accidents.

Celebrity Drivers Fatigue
