SENATOR GLENN STERLE
SHADOW ASSISTANT MINISTER FOR ROAD SAFETY
LABOR SENATOR FOR WESTERN AUSTRALIA
 
A REMINDER TO STAY SAFE ON OUR ROADS THIS FESTIVE SEASON
 

1,180.
 
That’s the number of people across Australia who have lost their lives due to road trauma incidents this year.
 
156.
 
That’s the number of lives lost on roads in Western Australia this year.
 
This sadly includes 3 lives which were lost as a result of road accidents in the last week alone.
 
We simply cannot let this continue. 
 
Road Safety is a matter that affects all of us and it is up to every driver to do their bit to ensure that they get home safely and that drivers around them remain safe too. 
 
In Western Australia, there have been 38 females and 118 males killed on our roads so far this year. 

This Christmas, let’s all spare a thought for those who have lost loved ones on our roads. 

Make Road Safety a priority and drive so that others can survive.
