How your holiday ends is your choice
A campaign launched by the TAC and Victoria Police highlights the risks of speeding and drink driving, and the critical role police play in deterring these dangerous behaviours.
Tired driving
Driving tired? Wake up to yourself.
Did you know that when you drive on less than 5 hours of sleep, you are 4 times more likely to crash?

Drink Drive campaign
Think you’re okay to drive after a few drinks? Stop kidding yourself. If you drink, don’t drive.
The safest way to know for sure that you are under 0.05 Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is to separate drinking and driving completely. Many factors can impact BAC such as sex, age, weight, fatigue levels and general tolerance to alcohol - no one can accurately judge their BAC, especially if they’ve had a few drinks.

Protect your entire body on every ride
Don’t let a 15-minute ride become a 12-month recovery. In a motorcycle crash, casual clothes only protect your body for a split second. Wearing motorcycle protective gear that covers your whole body has been shown to significantly reduce your risk of being admitted to hospital after a crash.
Got the gear? Ride with it.

- [Narrator] At this very moment, the rider is protected.
But it only takes 0.03 seconds for the sneaker to burst.
0.6 seconds for the jeans to disintegrate.
Then, like a human crayon, his flesh is shredded
by the coarse bitumen.

Split Second
Two young Victorian filmmakers have had their creative vision brought to life in the form of road safety campaigns that help raise awareness of road safety issues and change behaviours among young drivers.

Pause Stop
The TAC operates a number of Pause Stop sites across Victoria, encouraging drivers to pull over, recharge and get to get to their destination safely.
Left Unfinished
Seven seemingly ordinary items which belonged to seven Victorians whose lives were either tragically lost or forever changed while on the road are featured in this campaign. Each object represents a chapter in a book that will never be written or a life cut short and ultimately, a story left unfinished.
