Road Safety

Maintain your vehicle:
Regularly check your vehicle for problems that could affect your safety on the road. This includes tyre pressure, oil levels, brakes, lights, and windshield wipers. A well-maintained car is less likely to encounter unexpected issues. If you are going to tow a caravan, camper or trailer, also check its tyres, brake and lights before you leave home.

Plan your trip:
If you a driving somewhere unfamiliar, take the time to plan your journey. Have a look at maps before you head off, do a search online to find out how long it will take, set your destination if you have satellite navigation, and check if there are any road works or closures.

Follow the rules:
Wearing your seatbelt is critical for staying safe when you drive. In the event of a crash, it can help you avoid or reduce the severity of an injury.

We work with sporting clubs throughout WA to spread the message that it is important to Belt Up every time you drive.
