As National Road Safety Week kicks off, let’s pause and reflect on the impact of road accidents beyond the tragic loss of lives. While fatalities are undoubtedly devastating, there’s another side to road safety that often goes unnoticed: permanent life-altering injuries. 🧠 Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) are one such consequence. These catastrophic injuries can occur in an instant, leaving survivors with long-term health challenges. As we navigate our daily commutes, it’s crucial to remember that road safety isn’t just about avoiding accidents—it’s about safeguarding our futures. Here are some key reminders: 1. Share the Road with Heavy Vehicles: Last year, 1,272 lives were lost in crashes on Australia’s roads, with 187 involving heavy vehicles. When driving near trucks, give them extra space and avoid lingering in their blind spots. 2. Know the Warning Signs of Unsafe Driving: Whether you’re behind the wheel or a passenger, recognise signs like speeding, poor decision-making, and drifting across lanes. These behaviours can lead to life-changing consequences. 3. Seek Medical Clearance After a Brain Injury: If you’ve experienced a traumatic brain injury, consult your doctor before returning to driving or consider a driving assessment with a trained OT. Brain injuries can impact crucial skills needed for safe driving, such as concentration, memory, and reaction time. Remember, every journey matters. Let’s pledge to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and fellow road users. 🙌 #DriveSafe #RoadSafetyWeek #TraumaticBrainInjuryAwareness #safetyfirst #betterhealthoutcomes
Today, National Road Safety Week (5–12 May 2024) reminds us to remember to drive to ensure all the people out there keeping us safe get home at the end of every day. Emergency response and other roadside workers put their lives at risk at work every day. To keep them safe, slow down and move over when passing a stationary emergency or traffic response vehicle or workers. If an emergency, traffic response or breakdown assistance vehicle is displaying flashing lights it's not just courtesy to move over and slow down – it's the law. So please drive safely so everyone can get home safe. Find out more at https://lnkd.in/g3rhYvsP #DriveSOS #NRSW #StreetSmartsQLD
