Last year, in Australia, more than 1100 road users were killed and many more seriously injured. Risky behaviours, such as speeding, drink driving and distracted driving continue to contribute to road trauma. Advertising is often used in an attempt to persuade road users to adopt safer attitudes and behaviours, and advertising consumes a large portion of annual government expenditure on road safety. But how effective is it in achieving this goal? – and what are the ingredients of effective road safety advertising?

This seminar will bring together three authoritative speakers who will provide complimentary perspectives on the topic – Dr Bella Din-Zarr (Immediate past Vice Chair of the NTSB), Mr Bernard Carlon (TfNSW Centre for Road Safety), and Associate Professor Ioni Lewis (Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety – Queensland)
