2024 was the deadliest year on Australian roads in over a decade. According to the Federal Government, 1,300 people were killed on the road last year. It’s the fourth year in a row fatalities have increased. This hasn’t happened since seatbelts were made compulsory in the 1960s. The Australian Automobile Association (AAA) has called on the government to investigate “what is going wrong,” with our roads and to implement effective solutions.
As of Monday, February 3, 33 lives have been lost on Victorian roads, a 57.1 per cent increase compared to the same period last year.
