Troy Cassar-Daley says ‘Safer driving starts with you’
As part of the Australian Government’s ‘Safer driving starts with you’ road safety campaign, country music icon Troy Cassar-Daley is urging mob to think about how they’re driving.
Our road toll is the highest it’s been in more than a decade, affecting communities right across the country – including First Nations people, who are more than three times more likely to die in a road accident than other Australians.
As part of the Australian Government’s ‘Safer driving starts with you’ road safety campaign, Troy Cassar-Daley is urging mob to reflect on their behaviour behind the wheel.
He’s a highly awarded country music songwriter and musician and proud Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung man. He says he’s probably spent more time on the road getting to gigs than he has on stage, and during this time, he’s seen a lot of poor behaviour on the roads.
“I’ve seen worse behaviour on the roads than at any concert – and often from very experienced drivers!”
“It’s probably been a while since a lot of us have really thought about our driving and what you can do to help keep yourself and others safe on the roads. Don’t get distracted by your phone, others in the car, or get hot-headed. You wouldn’t do dumb or inconsiderate things outside of a car, so why do them in one,” he says.
