Did you know that the transport sector accounts for 20% of total emissions.
Casual speeding is the biggest cause of deaths and serious injuries on NSW roads. Being just a bit over the speed limit can make a huge difference if something unexpected happens - like a child running out onto the road, a car reversing from a driveway, or pulling out of a side street.
Every K Counts
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SPEED Adapted from an original Australian Road Safety Council advertising campaign. Image courtesy National Archives of Australia. NAA: B1552, 781 (1961) The higher your speed, the lower your chances of survival in a crash. The impact at 50km/h is equivalent to a 10 metre fall. At 100km/h the force of impact is equal to driving your car off a 10-storey building.

Electric & Hybrid Vehicles
It is also the second largest source of emissions and one of the fastest growing sources of pollution.
