Promoting and implementing improved road safety practices
Too many die and are injured unnecessarily in road crashes in Australia and the world. Not only are the social costs tragic, but the economic burden can exceed 2% of the GDP.

Drivers in the United States drive on the right side of the road just as drivers in Argentina, China, and Germany. On the other hand, drivers in Australia, India, Japan, and United Kingdom drive on the left side of the road.
