Growing up in the 70's and 80's I was part of a generation that valued the great Aussie Road trip tradition. My parents had a caravan and we would often go exploring as far afield as possible. I remember pulling up alongside the road for my dad to take a shot at some rabbits with […]
Welcome to a new year of fun, work, and life. I wanted to touch on some recent observations regarding driving habits that perhaps might ring true for you also, habits or behaviours that aren’t necessarily breaking the road rules but are just an example of bad etiquette. If we look up the meaning of ‘etiquette’ […]
Have you ever been driving along minding your own business and out of nowhere another driver does something that causes you to react? Don’t worry you aren’t alone, in-fact it would be very strange to have a situation where you never need to compensate for the misgivings of another driver. Last year as per the […]

Over time these technologies have been slowly introduced to the vehicles we drive, but have we adapted to the technology with effective education? Even commercial vehicles that have become so popular in Australia […]
There is no doubt we are living through an unprecedented time in our lives, one that none of us could of prepare for, or expected. Understandably every organisation has had to scramble to come up with procedures to cope with the COVID19 Pandemic. We have seen workers directed to work from home, frontline workers forced […]
With emergency departments now becoming stretched dealing with the Coronavirus, it is imperative we take road safety seriously. The last place you would want to end up right now is in an emergency department or ICU as a result of a mistake made on our roads. If you have frontline staff still out driving as […]
That is an interesting headline, but it is a mistake we see so often when organisations drop things they deem as a ‘nice to have’ to save some money they may not see the real costs of this decision. For instance, over the past 12 months we saw a trend of dropping the rollout of […]
