Driving safer, together
This National Road Safety Week, Tasmanians joined us in taking the pledge to drive responsibly and keep each other safe on every single journey.
Between 11 and 18 May, drivers across Australia united to take a pledge aimed at making our roads safer. At RACT, we were proud to see so many Tasmanians commit to actions that protect all road users:
Driving as if their loved ones are on the road ahead.
Removing distractions, like using a mobile phone while driving.
Avoiding risky behaviours such as speeding, driving while tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Slowing down and giving vulnerable road users, including workers and pedestrians, the space they need to stay safe.
Road trauma remains a serious concern in Tasmania, and by taking this pledge, Tasmanians are making a direct contribution to reducing risks and making our roads safer for everyone. Together, we can make every journey safer.
