⚠️ In 2021, governments said they would cut road deaths in half by 2030. The dotted line is where we should be. The red line is where we are.

The government’s own review of the strategy says the plan isn’t working.

We need one plan for the whole country, based on what saves lives.

Ever wondered what you’d find if you drove a little further? 🚗🌏

A few things to sort before you drive overseas:
✅ Check your destination’s driving requirements
✅ Apply for an International Driving Permit, Smartraveller advises you may need one
✅ Carry your permit alongside your physical Australian driver's licence

🚗 Road deaths have fallen, but Australia still remains off track.

Road deaths are 19.7% higher than when the National Road Safety Strategy began in 2021. The Strategy aims to halve road deaths by 2030.

The recent Review of the failing strategy highlights the need for greater Commonwealth leadership, and better use of data.

It will save lives.

🚨 The Governments' own review released today explains why Australia is not on track to meet its road safety targets.

The review highlights the need for greater Commonwealth leadership, and for a dramatic improvement in how data is used to guide both road spending and the delivery of actions that can save lives.

The AAA urges all governments to act on it with urgency.

😴 A bad night's sleep isn't the only thing leaving you tired behind the wheel.

Fatigue is predictable and manageable — it can be shaped by your caffeine intake, body clock, or the hours that build the longer you're awake.

You can't control everything that makes you tired. But you can always have a plan for what to do when you start to feel too sleepy to drive.

🚨 There's a Commonwealth Government review that could explain why Australia's road toll keeps rising. Do you think it should be released?

The latest data shows Australia's rolling 12-month road toll has risen for 38 straight months.

⏳ Ten months have passed since the Commonwealth announced its mid-term review of the Strategy to halve road deaths by 2030.

Releasing them is the chance to make road safety decisions based on evidence, not guesswork.

The AAA is calling on the Government to release the review and explain what it will change.
