Let’s make sure you — and everyone you love — always do.
Australia’s road toll is a tragedy, and it’s rising. These aren’t just statistics; they are neighbors, colleagues, and loved ones who never came back. We need to acknowledge the severity of this issue before we can fix it.
The Road Toll Is Rising – But You Can Help Change That.
As of June 2025, 143 lives have been lost on Victorian roads—a 10.9% increase from the same time last year. Across the country, 1,266 Australians died on our roads in 2023, the highest toll in nearly a decade.
At Lessons2Drive Driving School, we’re not just here to help you pass your test—we’re here to help you stay alive, protect others, and build lifelong safe driving habits.
Why Are Road Accidents on the Rise?
Despite decades of progress—from seatbelt laws to random breath testing—we’re seeing worrying trends that point to complacency and poor choices:
- Young adults (18–39) are the most affected, representing a critical need for advanced training beyond basic licensing requirements.
- Most fatal crashes happen on weekends, when distractions, fatigue, or alcohol are more common factors.
- Many deaths involve run-off-road and head-on collisions, often caused by speeding or poor judgment.
- 131 out of 298 Victorian deaths were drivers—showing exactly how crucial proper driver education and continuous skill refinement truly is.
Driving isn’t just a skill. It’s a serious responsibility that affects every road user.
Road Rules Save Lives — And So Does the Right Training
The Australian Government’s “Safer Driving Starts With You” campaign reminds us: safety on the road starts before you even turn the key.
Here’s how you can be part of the solution and make every journey safer:
- Obey speed limits—they are the maximum, not a target.
- Don’t drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Stay alert and avoid phone distractions (put your phone in the back seat if you have to!).
- Wear seatbelts—every trip, every time, even for short drives.
- Recognise fatigue and rest when needed.
- Learn and drive in a safe vehicle with up-to-date safety features.
