WHAT IF?!
Australia’s first colonial road was two short kilometres from Governor Philip’s Sydney residence to Dawes Battery. Since then, the nation’s road network has grown to a whopping 817,000km. Indeed, Highway One, which circumnavigates the country, is the longest national highway in the world, with a length of 14,500km. That’s quite a lap! With massive stretches of road like the Eyre Highway extending in a straight line over 140km of featureless plain — and the notorious Bruce Highway spanning over 1600km with a reputation as one of the world’s most dangerous highways and coined the ‘Highway of Shame’ — mishaps on the road are inevitable.
Knowing this, are you really prepared for your next road trip? Are you prepared for the ‘What If?!’ Whether our travel plans are modest or massive, when we roll our rigs out of the driveway we need to plan for the worst — and hope for the best — because safety is no accident.
Consider these scenarios. What if you’re driving along the Bruce Highway and an accident occurs in front of you? Can you provide First aid?
Fortunately, there’s probably plenty of other traffic around and mobile
