Driving campaign to keep your mob safe
Australia’s road toll is the highest it’s been in more than a decade and First Nations Australians are three times more likely to die in a road accident than other Australians.
They are also 30 per cent more likely to be hospitalised due to a road crash than the rest of the population.
Helping to change this, country music icon Troy Cassar-Daley and NRL great Scott Prince are urging mob to reflect on their behaviour behind the wheel.
Scott knows the devastating impact of the road toll first-hand. He lost his father to a road accident just weeks after his 21st birthday and still thinks about him every day.
Troy has spent a lot of time on the road driving to gigs and says that he’s seen worse behaviour on our roads than at any of his concerts.
Together, they’re asking all road users to think about their behaviour on the road and what we can all do to keep ourselves and others safe.
With the messaging ‘Don’t let a car change who you are – Safer driving starts with you’, Scott and Troy act as a reminder that sometimes, people behave differently when they’re in a car—more aggressive, impatient, or distracted—than they would in other situations.
The campaign asks, if you wouldn’t do something outside a car, like cut someone off in a queue, why do it in one?
