When a crash occurs, an unrestrained car occupant continues to move at the same speed at which the vehicle was traveling before the collision. Do not forget to buckle up. #RoadSafety

Love to see this occurring in NZ & Police lead. Instead we have dashcam posts put up on FB for entertainment purposes and not for lifesaving road safety deterrent enforcement. lnkd.in/gGzAs5XX

Recent meta-data suggests that cannabis-positive drivers are between 1.1-1.4 times more likely to be involved in a crash than sober drivers, similar to the crash risk associated with low-dose alcohol. #medicinalcanabis #crashrisk #roadsafety

Drivers using a mobile, hand-held or hands-free: • are much less aware of what’s happening on the road • fail to see road signs/maintain proper lane position • find it difficult to drive at a steady speed • are more likely to ‘tailgate’ • react more slowly to hazards

Heavy vehicle drivers are highly skilled professionals, carrying high levels of responsibility, as well as critical loads. Read the full 'Health in gear: turning truck driver and logistics worker health around' Thought Leadership piece here: nrspp.org.au/resources/nrsp… "

Thinking of using your smartwatch’s mobile functions while driving? Think again. Potentially more dangerous than the mobile phone📱using your smart watch while driving may not be the smartest move. #DistractedDrivingAwareness roadsense.org.au/?utm_campaign=…
