Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 2, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Department Of Transport has released videos and a glovebox guide to teach motorists how to safely manage a vehicle breakdown as part of a new road safety initiative.<\/p>\n

Transport Minister Mark Bailey said too many motorists put themselves at risk when their vehicles break down.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, we have seen vehicle breakdowns result in tragic incidents,\u201d Mr Bailey said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the most dangerous activities we see is motorists attempting repairs on their vehicles when it is not safe to do so.<\/p>\n

“Even something simple, like changing a tyre, can be dangerous if it is done on a busy road.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Bailey said the video and glovebox guide explained the risks associated with breaking down in a high-speed environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you break down, the advice is to exit your vehicle if safe to do so, go directly to a safe location such as behind a roadside barrier, and call your roadside assistance provider or 13-19-40,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther motorists should always keep their eyes on what is ahead, and if they see a broken down vehicle, be sure to slow down or, if possible, move over when passing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Bailey said the videos and glovebox guide had been tested by drivers and provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions.<\/p>\n
