Today is #FatalityFreeFriday<\/a>. Lets aim for ZERO #fatalities<\/a> every day #roadsafety<\/a> #TowardsZero<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/g47E00aFEh<\/a><\/p>\n

Fatality Free Friday is an initiative that started in Australia in 2007, and the campaign\u00a0has continued to expand its operation and is now recognised as Australia\u2019s only national community based road safety program.<\/p>\n

Road safety is a complex issue but we believe that if drivers consciously think about road safety and safe driving for just one Friday in the year, that day\u2019s toll \u2013 statistically about 5.3* deaths \u2013 could be reduced to zero.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s our aim. Not a single road death in Australia for just one day. Just one Fatality Free Friday.<\/p>\n

We believe that if drivers are asked to actively concentrate on road safety and safe driving for just one day in the year, they\u2019ll drive safer for the next few days too and, over time, change their outlook completely, consciously thinking about safety each and every day they get behind the wheel.<\/p>\n
