Today is Fatality Free Friday!!

That’s our aim. Not a single road death in Australia for just one day. Just one Fatality Free Friday. Fatality Free Friday continues to resonate with the Australian community and the efforts of this year’s campaign has reflected this. As we know road safety is a complex issue and it is impossible to find one single key to reduce road trauma.
Since its inception in 2007 the Fatality Free Friday campaign has continued to expand its operation and is now recognised as Australia’s only national community based road safety program.
It has successfully fostered community ownership, complex road safety issues and encourages those who can make a significant difference in reducing road trauma.
The campaign is more than just a single day. Whilst our target is to have a fatality free Friday ultimately we are aiming for a longer term community change.
Last year’s Fatality Free Friday event was a great success nationally –we thank everyone for their support and for making the day possible.
To date over 130,000 road safety pledges have been signed- this is an outstanding result. In addition we have been inundated with hard copies from around the country so keep referring back to our website to see how many pledges have been taken.
We believe that if drivers are asked to actively concentrate on road safety and safe driving for just one day in the year, they’ll 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.
