Countdown to Fatality Free Friday 2010:

2576 Pledges Were Downloaded For Fatality Free Friday 2009

A Message from Fatality Free Friday Founder Russell White

"We were delighted by the amount of support and awareness Fatality Free Friday achieved across Australia in 2009. This was our third year and the level of interest has grown each time. Fatality Free Friday is Australia’s only community-based national road safety campaign and it is something we’re very proud of. I'd like to thank all our sponsors and supporters - and particularly all of the ordinary people, schools and workplaces - that joined in.

“Although we focus on one day a year, to demonstrate that if we can make a conscious effort to have the right attitude and make the right decisions while we’re behind the wheel on this one day, then we can do it every day of the year.

"I urge everyone to join us again for Fatality Free Friday on 28 May, 2010."

On The Day

	Bev Brock, Patron of Fatality Free Friday

Fatality Free Friday is the chance for you to join the campaign for a fatality-free day on Australia's roads by taking the Fatality Free Friday pledge. It doesn't cost anything - you don't even have to give any details - just print out the Pledge and make a promise to yourself to go safe on the road on Fatality Free Friday.

We'd like to express our deep appreciation to Bev Brock for accepting the role of Patron of Fatality Free Friday, and also thank Suncorp Insurance and Armor All for returning as major sponsors in 2009, joined by Isuzu
D-Max and Tyres And More also as major sponsors.

We also highly value the backing of our other supporters for their recognition of the worth of Fatality Free Friday in reducing the road toll in Australia.

The assistance of our sponsors and supporters is enables us to get the word out even further this year, putting the spotlight on community activities and road safety publicity.

Supporters

If you’d like to become more involved with Fatality Free Friday and organise an event for your workplace or community, let us know - we’d love to support your efforts on Fatality Free Friday 2010.

Why Fatality Free Friday?

Each year, around 1600 people die on Australia’s roads. By far the most dangerous days - those which statistically suffer the most deaths - are Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Road safety is a complex issue but we believe that if drivers consciously think about road safety and safe driving for just one Friday in the year, that day’s toll - statistically about 5.3 deaths - could be reduced to zero.

That’s our aim. Not a single road death in Australia for just one day. Just one Fatality Free Friday.

And we further hope that by making people think about staying alive on the road on one Friday, they’ll drive safer for the next few days too and reduce the traditionally high weekend fatality rate.

Who knows? Perhaps drivers can keep thinking safety each and every Friday and we won’t just save 5 or 6 lives but many more.
