What is National Road Victim Month all about?
Posted on 15th Aug, 2018 by Dominic Benabda
You might think you can guess the purpose of National Road Victim Month just from the name.

National Road Victim Month was created not just for remembrance, but also for action in the name of these victims, and taking steps to ensure that we stop as many others as we can from suffering the same tragic circumstances.
