b. Promote public awareness regarding road safety within the Island.

The Panel sponsor on any annual basis a play called ‘Too much punch for Judy’ in conjunction with Education, Sport & Culture.This is a play depicting a true story of a drink drive death.The play is extremely powerful and is seen by all year 11 students around the Island each year.
