Minister for Road Safety Jennifer Rankine is urging all drivers to refresh their knowledge of the Road Rules "News Release 27.12.12"

 "Launching the Road Rules Refresher campaing, Ms Rankine said drivers, motorcyclists and cyclists should all take a few minutes to improve their knowledge - even if you think you are a road rules master."

"The Road Rules Refresher package is aimed at correcting common misunderstandings amongst drivers and riders - and it's usually the 'more experienced' drivers who make the mistakes"

"Complacency is a killer. By undertaking a few simple tests - you can potentially save your own life, or passengers," Ms Rankine said.

"Simple misunderstandings can lead to serious consequences. The Road Rules Refresher is looking at everything from giving way, overtaking, roundabouts, U-turns, merging and more."

"I urge drivers and riders to test their knowledge. You have nothing to lose and everything to save," Ms Rankine said

"The Road Rules Refresher is made up of online video clips showing the road rules in action as well as a quiz."

Release of the National Road Safety Strategy 2011-12 PDF Print E-mail

The National Road Safety Strategy 2011-12 was released on the 20th of May 2011 by the Australian Transport Council.

The strategy is firmly based on Safe System principles and is framed by the guiding vision that no person should be killed or seriously injured on Australia's roads. As a step towards this long-term vision, the strategy presents a 10-year plan to reduce the annual numbers of both deaths and serious injuries on Australian roads by at least 30 per cent.

The strategy outlines broad directions for the future of Australian road safety, planned initiatives for the first three years and a range of options for further consideration as the strategy progresses. The initiatives and options are set out in four key areas - Safe Roads, Safe Speeds, Safe Vehicles and Safe People.

See the Australian Transport Council website for more information.
