Think you’re okay to drive after a drink? Alcohol’s effects vary with your size, age, stress levels—even what you had for dinner. Don’t risk it. #DrinkALittleRiskALot

Wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of death for drivers by 50% and yet 4 unbelted young people were killed or seriously injured every week in 2022. Something as simple as clicking your seat belt could save your life, and the lives of your friends.

43% of young car passenger fatalities are unbelted. We're supporting THINK! Road Safety with their #CLICK campaign, to remind people to always wear their seat belt, no matter the journey.

Attitudinal research shows young people less likely to consider seatbelt important when travelling as a passenger. CLICK is the sound of seat belts getting your mates to the drive-thru and back
