Road safety Ambassador

Meet SAPOL's Road Safety Ambassador – Abigail Anderson

We're excited to announce Ms Abigail Anderson as SAPOL's Road Safety Ambassador. Abigail will work closely with our Road Safety Centre to share her powerful story, with a special focus on secondary students and motorcycle riders. Her message is clear: road trauma changes lives forever.

Abigail takes every opportunity to talk about her younger brother Nathan, tragically killed in a motorcycle crash on the 10th of October 2024. At almost 20 years of age, Nathan Anderson was travelling his normal route home from motor trade school, excited after meeting a new friend who shared his same passion for bikes. He'd only possessed his learner motorbike licence for 4 weeks but knew the familiar expressway from driving it often in his car. A simple lack of judgment and mis-navigation caused Nathan and his bike to collide with a guardrail, and the impact sadly took his life.

With so much of his future ahead of him, Abigail shares Nathan’s story to highlight the importance of motorcycle awareness and the impact that choices made on the road have on all users.

Abigail's courage and determination is inspiring, and she hopes her story will resonate with young drivers and encourage safer choices behind the wheel and whilst riding motorcycles.

Abigail is available to speak at the Road Safety Section's road safety session across the State. Her story is real and shares the rear impact of road trauma.
