Take regular rest breaks on long road trips

Fatigue is a silent threat on our roads, especially on long trips. This Rural Road Safety Month, let's address this issue along with the challenges of navigating country roads. Sleep is the only cure for tiredness so make sure you're well rested before heading out. Many drivers like to ‘beat the traffic’ or get a ‘head start’ on their trip by leaving early in the morning; this can be dangerous. Travel at times you would normally be awake.

Through this knowledge imparted by respected Elders, we hope to help drivers become more aware of their surroundings, reducing the number of incidents on our country roads.
