As a powerful reminder of the fatal consequences when taking risks behind the wheel, the Australian Road Safety Foundation laid out 835 hats in memory of every life lost on regional roads last year to launch Rural Road Safety Month.

22.01.2022 This is the heartbreaking story of Philip Vassallo, the Kid in the Blue Datto, who inspires the work of the Blue Datto Foundation.

Just $20 will help us EDUCATE and EMPOWER a vulnerable young person so that other families can be spared this unimaginable and never-ending pain.

With thanks to this sponsorship, we were able to educate and empower local youth on making safer choices as drivers and passengers.

With 8 venues in the WRLCG, we know there is the perfect location for your weekend catch up. Head to their website to plan your visit. They look forward to welcoming you. #thankyou #community #KeepingSafe https://wyongleaguesgroup.com.au/

16.01.2022 According to the Australian Road Safety Foundation, one quarter of New South Wales drivers (23%) admit to taking road risks since the implementation of COVID-19 lock downs. A frightening statistic, likely driven by the fact that more than two thirds of the states drivers (69%) believe the roads are safer under current conditions. There should never be an excuse to take risks on or around our roads. Sadly, many New South Wales drivers still do and the complacency of fewer cars on the road during coronavirus is driving more dangerous behaviour. In the lead up to Fatality Free Friday on 29th May, we urge all road users to take the pledge to #ChooseRoadSafety. Visit arsf.com.au/take-the-pledge-fff/ to demonstrate your commitment to reducing the road toll. #KeepingSafe

He loved to go out riding with his mates and spending time with his family. We miss him every single day, although Christmas always hurts that little bit more as it was his favourite time, he loved the presents, the food, time with his family and a few b...eers with his brother in laws. He will forever live on in his beautiful daughter Aaliyah. We miss you every single day and love you forever. #forver27 #foreverridingfree #BlueDattoChristmasAngels See more

12.01.2022 Christmas Angel - Nicholas Perry, 21 Years Young. R.I.P 09/11/2019 Nicholas was one of the most genuine, loving & selfless souls. Nick had the most infectious laugh, handsome smile, and beautiful, caring nature; constantly going to the ends of the earth to make sure others were always safe and happy. An incredible son, big brother and friend to so, so many; tragically losing him to a drunk driver has left holes in all of our hearts. Not a single day passes that you don’t cross our minds Nick.

Thank you Ciaran for partaking in this exp...erience and giving us such a unique and compassionate insight into sleeping rough on the streets.

05.01.2022 Christmas Angel - Jake Robert Innes, 21 Years Young, 01/07/2013 Jake was killed in a traffic accident seven and half years ago in Denham Court, NSW. Jake was a mischievous character with a quick-wit and a contagious laugh. He lived his life on the go, from one adventure to the next. There was no mountain too big nor too small for him. With a huge heart and endless amounts of courageousness, Jake was always ready to take on the world. He was a passionate soul, with a social circle bigger than life. He loved hard and in-return was loved by many. Jake’s memory is treasured by every single human that was blessed to know him. A love that lasts beyond life times. Until we meet again little man, love to you, ALWAYS. Xxx #BlueDattoChristmasAngels

05.01.2022 Figures released from the Australian Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics have reported a 41.5% drop in road fatalities in NSW during March this year compared to the same period last year. Due to the restrictions currently in place, the decrease isnt all that surprising however, according to Professor Max Cameron from Monash University Accident Research Centre, who told The Age less congested roads present an opportunity for higher speeds, meaning the accidents that do occur are likely to be more serious. If you must be on the roads, ensure that you keeping to the speed limits and continue the decrease in fatalities #KeepingSafe https://www.whichcar.com.au//coronavirus-lockdown-australi
