Have a safe T.R.I.P. this winter
We want you to have a safe T.R.I.P. this spring
As we emerge from the darker days of winter into spring, it's important to remain vigilant on the roads and be prepared for the various weather conditions and challenges of the season. Always prioritise your safety and the safety of others by staying alert when driving.
Even during the day, it's a good idea to use your headlights in rainy or overcast conditions. Driving in spring requires some specific safety considerations.
Preparing for your trip
- Make sure you get a good night's sleep before your trip
- Avoid alcohol the day before as this can disrupt sleep and affect your driving the following day
- Know what medications you're on and how they affect you. Avoid driving between midnight and 6am when you’re likely to feel most tired
