Road safety is everyone's responsibility
"'Drive now. Text later'"
"'Drink and drive, the Police will show you some new bars'"
"'The driver is safer when the roads are dry; the roads are safer when the driver is dry' "
"A pedestrian hit at 30km/h has a 90 percent chance of surviving. A pedestrian hit at 50km/h has a 30 percent chance. The risks for vulnerable pedestrians, such as the elderly or children, are higher again."
"Texting, while driving increases your crash risk 23 times."
