The Ripple Effect V2, released in 2017, tells the story of Mackay resident 17-year-old Tim whose 4WD collided with a tree, splitting in two, when he was driving whilst affected by alcohol. Miraculously he survived. The Ripple Effect tells of Tim’s decisions and includes interviews with his father, the magistrate who presided over Tim’s case and the investigating police officer.
Funding for production of Ripple Effect V2 was provided by TMR Community Road Safety Grant Funding. RAAG’s decision to revisit Ripple Effect (after V1) was a result of community requests and justice department authority enquiries.
The Ripple Effect V2 was a finalist in the 2018 Australian Road Safety Awards.
