Every trip matters. Throughout Rural Road Safety Month, we're encouraging everyone to make safe choices on our rural roads.

If you're driving, don't drink or take drugs.

You don't have to feel drunk to be affected by alcohol, and trying to calculate your blood alcohol level simply isn't reliable.

Alcohol and drugs reduce your ability to react, judge distances and make safe decisions.

If you're planning a night out:
✅ Organise a designated driver.
✅ Catch a taxi or rideshare.
✅ Stay the night.
✅ Have a Plan B.

If you're planning to drive, the safest choice is not to drink any alcohol.

Throughout August, we're proud to support Rural Road Safety Month by sharing simple messages that could help save lives on our country roads.Road safety starts with each of us.

Whether you're driving to work, heading to the farm, towing a trailer or travelling into town, every decision behind the wheel matters.

✔ Wear your seatbelt.
✔ Drive to the conditions.
✔ Put the phone away.
✔ Slow down.
✔ Never drive tired or impaired.

Together, we can make our country roads safer for everyone.

Be the change this Rural Road Safety Month.

Country roads are part of everyday life for many of us. That's why Eglinton Rural Fire Brigade is proud to support Rural Road Safety Month.
Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing practical road safety messages to help keep our community safe, whether you're heading to work, travelling to sport, or simply driving home.
Slowing down could save a life.

Country roads can change quickly.

Loose gravel, wildlife, farm machinery, blind corners and changing weather all mean that the posted speed limit isn't always the safest speed.

Drive to the conditions, leave plenty of space and allow extra time for your journey.

A few minutes later is far better than not arriving at all.

Wildlife doesn't follow road rules.

Kangaroos, livestock and other animals are most active around dawn and dusk, making these higher-risk times for drivers on country roads.

If you see wildlife warning signs:
⚠ Slow down.
👀 Stay alert.
🚫 Avoid swerving suddenly.
🛑 Brake safely if it's safe to do so.

Remember, one animal often means more nearby.

Take extra care and expect the unexpected when travelling on rural roads.

This August, Eglinton Rural Fire Brigade is proud to support Rural Road Safety Month, joining communities across NSW in encouraging everyone to make safer choices every time they get behind the wheel. Throughout the month, we'll be sharing simple tips that can help save lives on our country roads.F eeling tired? Don't takFeeling tired?

Fatigue doesn't just affect long trips – it can happen on any journey, at any time of the day. Slower reaction times, poor judgement and even microsleeps can have devastating consequences.

If you're feeling tired:
🚗 Pull over somewhere safe.
☕ Take a short break.
💧 Stay hydrated.
😴 If needed, have a power nap before continuing.

No destination is worth risking your life or someone else's.

This Rural Road Safety Month, make fatigue part of your travel plan.

Safer roads start with safer choices. Join Eglinton Rural Fire Brigade as we support Rural Road Safety Month throughout August.

More than two thirds of lives lost on NSW roads happen on regional roads.

August is Rural Road Safety Month – reminding us of the extra risks while driving on rural and regional roads.

You can help get everyone home safely by slowing down and driving to conditions, ensuring you and your passengers are wearing seatbelts correctly, and never driving when you’re tired.
