22.01.2022 If you’re thinking about buying a new car soon, then it’s important that safety features are your top priority in choosing a car. In the event of a serious cras...h airbags alone are not an adequate safety measure. Look for crash avoidance technology and safety features that protect vehicle occupants. Don’t forget that regardless of whether you’re buying a new or used car, it’s important to research car safety ratings. Check out the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) ratings or the Used Car Safety Rating (UCSR) for new or used cars.

21.01.2022 A new police education initiative to highlight road rules that cause frustration for motorists, will tomorrow (Thursday 10 August) focus on the use of indicator...s. The ongoing Traffic Thursday campaign was unveiled by SA Police last month. Each month police will highlight road rules linked with driver behaviour that causes frustration for other road users, or rules that appear to be widely misunderstood. In addition to the Fatal Five, police know that driver frustration can lead to risky or dangerous behaviours that ultimately put all road users at risk. This campaign is about targeting those behaviours through community discussion, education and ultimately enforcement, said Superintendent Anthony Fioravanti, the officer in charge of Traffic Support Branch. We were pleased with the feedback from the community when we launched this campaign last month, starting with Australian Road Rule 130 requiring motorists to keep to the left on a multi-lane road. While these are short, sharp, one-day campaigns, we believe the educational component of this will have a more far reaching impact by acting as a road rules refresher for many drivers. Among the feedback we received was that motorists are annoyed by other drivers failing to indicate their intentions. Under the Australian Road Rules the following applies: 46(1) Fail to signal sufficient warning of left change of direction 46(1) Fail to give five second signal of left move from stationary position 46(4) Fail to cancel left signal 48(1) Fail to signal sufficient warning of right change of direction 48(1) Fail to give five second signal of right move from stationary position 48(4) Fail to cancel right signal 51 Misuse of direction indicator These road rules are policed as a matter of normal police business, but Traffic Thursday will throw a spotlight on these offences, Superintendent Fioravanti said. None of us has a crystal ball, so it is not just a legal requirement but a courtesy to your fellow motorists to signal your intent. Each of the offences can result in a fine, plus two demerit points. The failure to cancel a signal or misuse of a direction indicator carries a fine of $207 (plus $60 victims of crime levy) while the other offences are a $310 expiation. Anyone witnessing dangerous driving is encouraged to report this behaviour to Traffic Watch by calling 131 444 as soon as it is safe to do so. See more

07.01.2022 Tips for sharing the road: Motorists are reminded to not pull in front of a truck that is slowing down in traffic as it can take trucks more than double the dis...tance to stop compared to a car. This distance also depends on weather and road conditions. Truck drivers need to remember that car drivers have blind spots, and to make sure to check your mirrors every 8 seconds and take extra care on busy roads.
