The
Easter long-weekend is upon us and while road trips can be fun they should also come with a fair share of admin.
The
JAX Tyres & Auto Road Safety Report 2021 conducted by YouGov reveals that only about half of the Australians – 54 per cent – say they always carry out specific vehicle checks before a long drive.
Alarmingly, one third of Aussie drivers say an orange or red light on car dashboard would not stop them from going on a long road trip.
The most popular items checked prior to a long journey is tyre pressure – 76 per cent – while only 32 percent check battery life.

The NSW governmentâs spending from its Road Safety Fund on âblack spotâ programs has halved in five years, prompting calls to reform the scheme, which is also spending millions on sporting partnerships and police wages.
Close to $28 million was spent in 2013/14 for some of NSWâs most dangerous roads, with funding for the program progressively declining to just under $14 million in 2019.
The NSW opposition is calling for the stateâs Road Safety Fund to be reformed.
