Abstract

The majority of Australians take the road transport system for granted; few appreciating what lies behind moving people and goods seamlessly from A to B. The nation's productivity relies on a safe and efficient transport system.

It is the economy's life blood as well as the glue of our social fabric. However, the downside is serious injury and death. This we must seek to eliminate. About the only time transport becomes the focus for the community is when something goes awry.

This opinion piece presents the author's thoughts relating to road safety issues within the heavy vehicle sector.
