TAKE care over the holiday break, as this period is often the most dangerous time on our roads.
After months of limitations on movement, many of us will be reconnecting with loved ones over Christmas and travelling distances further afield, as well as enjoying pubs, cafes, restaurants and holiday destinations.
It is an exciting time, but Roadsafe Goulburn Valley would like to remind drivers to be mindful of the dangers this could pose. Plan ahead, stay alert and show patience with other road users.
For older Australians or young drivers who have less experience, as well as capable drivers whose car has been sitting waiting for restrictions to ease, there will be tests on our roads this summer. Your family, your community, our emergency services and all people want you to reach your destination safely.
Reaching the end of 2021, the total number of lives lost on Victorian roads is 224 people, up 10.3% from the year before.
If you are driving long distances, take rest breaks and do not speed. A road crash will change your life forever. Stop the car, rest up, let your people know you’re safe and continue driving with a clear mind.
