This week marks National Road Safety Week. The WA Police Force urges all road users to take responsibility for their actions and commit to safer driving behaviours to help reduce serious and fatal crashes.
Throughout the week, WA Police officers will continue to undertake enforcement activity targeting the Fatal Five. These behaviours remain the leading contributors to deaths and serious injuries on Western Australian roads, including speeding, impairment by alcohol or drugs, failure to wear seatbelts, fatigue and distraction.
