Do you allow your teen to take the car on a night out – and is he/she responsible enough to avoid drunk driving? Will your matric pupil be going with friends on the matric holiday? A few weeks ago the Arrive Alive website was contacted by a producer for an insert on Carte Blanche on teen drinking and driving. We were able to share some links and refer to a few who might be able to provide material for the documentary.
We are pleased to reveal that this very important topic is to receive airtime tonight!

Matrics are knuckling down to finish 12 years of hard labour, but it’s how they’ll celebrate after that final exam that worries the cops, paramedics and, of course, parents. Carte Blanche took some learner and newly qualified teen drivers to a testing ground to see how they fared before and after a few drinks.

Big Social Spenders
Corruption has been high on the President’s agenda of late, with the axing of two Ministers, the suspension of the Police Commissioner, and the probe into the arms deal. Many believe Jacob Zuma should also turn his eyes towards his power base, KwaZulu-Natal, where the Department of Social Development has a lot to answer for. Carte Blanche reports on tender fraud that seems to know no bounds.

Elephant Talk
Elephant conversation first became apparent to scientists in the 1980s and they are discovering more and more about the way these animals communicate.Low level frequencies, inaudible to humans, can travel up to 10 kilometres and are particularly useful to elephants living in dense forests. Now scientists in Gabon can tell us what they’re talking about.
