What Truckies Wish You Knew
Australia's truly unique landscape and its major population centres around the country mean that much of the $1.7 trillion national economy is run by heavy transport. Every day more than 4000 heavy trucks make the 12-hour run along the Hume Highway between Sydney and Melbourne. Some of them are B-doubles with a combined loaded weight of up to 68 tonnes and a length of 25 metres. Truck and bus drivers see all kinds of on-road behaviour from the advantage of sitting up high in their cabs. That's why from 30th April right through to the 31st of May, in recognition of Australia's Road Safety week, we invite you to come out from the cab and share your safety tips! Give your insight from years of expertise to keep our roads safer, for both yourself and the average driver. At the end of May, we'll pick the best tip and the winner will get a $100 Visa prepaid gift card. #TipsFromSafeDrivers
