Road Safety Commissioner Adrian Warner spent a great day visiting Narembeen for the final day of SOCK Week (Save our Country Kids). SOCK Week was founded by staff at the Narembeen Community Resource Centre in response to the tragic deaths of five young people from the Narembeen community on local roads. The Road Safety Commission is proud to support SOCK Week, which seeks to instill safe driving behaviours into the community’s young people. This initiative has now been taken on by 23 other regional towns. During his visit Adrian took part in the local library Story Time, visited the Narembeen District High School for Fluro Friday, met with local government councillors and first responders, and attended the very moving community vigil to remember community members who had lost their lives on the roads.

Road Safety Commissioner Adrian Warner was in Northam yesterday for the launch of the NearMiss pilot program, a partnership between the Road Safety Commission and Shire of Northam. The NearMiss camera technology is capable of detecting near misses between vehicles and/or pedestrians. The technology uses a portable camera combined with AI software that analyses video in real-time to provide insights, severity levels and risk ratings for near-miss events. The data collected from these cameras can be used to support the development of road safety planning and investment cases by local government, to upgrade or improve road infrastructure. The Shire of Northam will trial the new cameras over three months, with drivers not being booked during this period. The new technology will help to identify opportunities to maximise road safety outcomes.

We have partnered with the WA Police Force, Department of Fire and Emergency Services and St John WA to create the Seatbelts Save Lives campaign. This campaign raises awareness that people are dying in crashes not wearing seatbelts. People who may have otherwise survived. First responders Carla, Emma and Clinton provide a candid insight into the true impact of not wearing a seatbelt when a crash occurs – from the point-of-view of those first on the scene of a crash. If you see what they see, it would just click that seatbelts save lives. For more information about the campaign visit: https://lnkd.in/gjQGEQWU
