Award for Shem ‘It took five seconds to change my life forever and it took five seconds to end a life. ’ For Shem Aitken, this sentence sums up a tragic single vehicle crash on the Gold Coast in 2004, which saw him become a paraplegic and his friend, who was driving, killed. However, in his own words he has chosen ‘to make the best out of a bad situation’ and was recently presented the Commissioner’s Certificate of Appreciation for his involvement in road safety initiatives. The recognition came following Shem’s involvement as a spokesperson for the 2007 Easter Road Safety Campaign which focused on young drivers. Shem also regularly speaks to school students about road safety awareness and participated in the 2006 Queensland Road Safety Summit providing input to new laws about P-Plates. Shem has a positive outlook, and has used his personal circumstances to demonstrate to his peers how trauma on the roads can change life forever. Shem said he was realistic about his goal. He could not stop all serious road crashes, but wanted to reduce them and hoped he could make young drivers aware of the outcomes of irresponsible driving. ‘Before the crash I thought I was ten feet tall and bullet proof. I was naïve towards what could happen’ he said. ‘I spent eight months in hospital and I vowed to spend my time promoting road awareness. I don’t want to see anyone else in the same position as me.’ Shem Aitken, receiving a Certificate of Appreciation from Commissioner Bob Atkinson for his involvement in road safety initiatives.
