Hello and welcome to Overdrive, a program that takes a broad look at how cars and transport impact our community.

I’m David Brown

This program and extended segments of the feature interview, road test and panel discussion are also available on the website at drivenmedia.com.au.

In this program we look at news stories from around the world including:

  1. Winners of traffic safety innovation challenge

And we road test the Tunland Foton with Tim O’Brien

And in our panel discussion with Brian Smith and Errol Smith
