John shared insights from the inspiring initiative featured in AA Directions magazine, “Brighter Roads Ahead.”The mission is simple but powerful — helping keep school children safe by providing bike lights to those who need them. 🚸✨ With more young people cycling to school, visibility on our roads is vital, especially during darker mornings and afternoons.John’s passion for improving road safety and supporting our community’s tamariki was truly motivating.
