Fatality Free Friday is designed to focus public attention on road safety and encourage all road users to play their part and drive safely.
The goal is to ensure that there are no road crash fatalities around Australia during the day. It is a call to action that will serve as a platform for a targeted and ongoing approach to road safety. The campaign will facilitate this via media and community involvement.
Currently, around 1.2 million people are killed each year in road crashes around the world. That equates to more than 3,000 people a week. In Australia the road toll is around 1,600 to 1,700 road fatalities and for every death approximately 10 people are injured. This situation is not acceptable and the road toll should not be accepted as inevitable.
Fatality Free Friday is the chance for you to join the campaign for a fatality-free day on Australia's roads by taking the Fatality Free Friday pledge. I t doesn't cost anything - you don't even have to give any details - just print out the pledge and make a promise to yourself to go safe on the road on Fatality Free Friday.
