As we reach the end of 2025, we’re reflecting on a devastating reality - 352 lives were lost on NSW roads this year.

In the new year, we’re asking everyone to be more considerate of the road rules and each other. Slow down. Put the phone away. Don’t drive if you’re under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

If we all make safer choices, we can stop families losing loved ones on our roads. Let’s make 2026 the year we turn this around and make sure everyone gets home ❤️

Today is World Kindness Day, and we think the best way to be kind on the road is to be safe 🚘💛
