has extensively told his amazing true-life story to Secondary Schools, Corporate Australia, and New Zealand. He is an Internationally renowned Keynote Speaker, and his confronting and highly motivational presentation about the impact that the roads have had on him and his family changes the lives of everyone who hears it. Fortunately, he has produced his true-life story as a book and ebook. As a result, Carmen's Legacy is a must-read for every young driver. Never before has such an insightful, impactful and empowering book addressed the dangers on our roads so personally and accurately. It has taken John twenty years to transfer his Keynote Presentation into a book. It was a heart- wrenching experience putting the loss of the youngest of his four daughters Carmen (18), in a car crash, into the written word. What happened to John and his family has happened to far too many families over the years. Unfortunately, it could happen to your family. John's book is essential reading for a family who has young road users in their family. At age 42, John was involved in a fatal car crash in which he received life-threatening injuries after an 18-year-old girl, who fell asleep at the wheel of her four- wheel-drive, crashed into John's stationary car. Tragically she lost her life in the car crash. At the time of the car crash, John was married with four daughters; he was a successful businessman and had a significant mortgage, leased cars, education commitments etc. etc. Four months after the car crash, his employment was terminated because of the extent of his injuries, and soon after that, doctors told him that he would never work again. Incredibly, more tragedy was to come. Just 30 months after John's car crash, he and his family were dealt the cruellest of blows when Carmen (age 18), the youngest of their four daughters, was killed in a car crash, another victim of fatigue. John's true-life story is one of triumph over tragedy, and he speaks about the strength and love of his family and the dangers on our roads. He is a widely acclaimed road safety campaigner, and this is a must-read book for anyone who uses the roads. We are fortunate that John fought through the tears as he wrote Carmen's Legacy. As a result, everyone now has an opportunity to read this compelling story, and once read, no one will forget Carmen. John is a unique Australian, and his story motivates and inspires as it touches the hearts of everyone. As you read Carmen's Legacy, there will be laughter and tears, but importantly this is indeed a journey of tragedy and hope.
