This submission outlines the FCAI’s response to the Australian Transport Council’s (ATC)
(draft) “National Road Safety Strategy 2011-20201.” The FCAI fully supports the “Safe System” approach. However, the FCAI considers that the NRSS would send a much clearer message and more accurately reflect the “Safe System” approach if the term “Safe behaviour” was used rather than “Safe speeds” and “Safe people”. The NRSS would then have three key areas: “Safe roads, Safe vehicles and Safe behaviour”.
