National Road Safety Week 2025

During National Road Safety Week, motorists are being encouraged to take a pledge to ‘Drive So Others Survive’.

By taking the pledge, drivers make it their personal commitment to:

• remove all distractions and never use a mobile phone while driving
• not put other people at risk by speeding
• not driving while tired or under the influence of drugs (including alcohol)
• actively protect all vulnerable road users, especially those whose job places them in harm’s way, by slowing down and giving them the space they need to be safe.

National Road Safety Week is an annual initiative run by the Safer Australian Roads and Highways Group, in partnership with road safety organisations and all levels of government to highlight the impact of road trauma and how everyone can help to make roads safer by driving safely.

Each day of National Road Safety Week focuses on a different member of the community who may be affected by road trauma. Take the pledge and see all the ways you can participate in National Road Safety Week.

National Road Safety Week runs until Sunday 18 May 2025.
