Perceived risk of driving/riding in New South Wales |
Background
The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) has the lowest annual road crashes and fatalities per 100,000 population among all Australian states and territories. However, previous studies by ARRB Group for the NRMA-ACT Road Safety Trust on crashes involving Australian Capital Territory (ACT) vehicles, drivers and riders in New South Wales (NSW) between 1992 and 2011 found that residents of the ACT are equally likely to be involved in a fatal crash in New South Wales (NSW) as they are in the ACT.
ARRB Group is conducting a project for the NRMA-ACT Road Safety trust to examine the different risks, behaviour and attitudes of ACT drivers and riders towards road safety on New South Wales roads. The survey aims to investigate how ACT drivers and riders perceive the risk of driving and the precautions they take when driving in New South Wales (NSW), with a view to providing better and more targeted advice to reduce crashes involving ACT vehicles, drivers and riders in NSW.
The findings of this survey will be examined and used to develop recommendations for strategies to assist ACT inhabitants travel safely in NSW.
Participants
This survey is aimed at ACT drivers and riders (regardless of licence type) who have ridden or driven on NSW roads as the vehicle controllers. This questionnaire includes questions on: your driving or riding experience, frequency of travel in NSW; your driving or riding experience on NSW roads; your opinion on speed, drink and drug driving, restraint use, driver distraction and road safety in NSW.
The questionnaire will take approximately 20 to 25 minutes to complete.
Confidentiality
The information collected will be used for research purposes only. The survey does not aim to identify the individual respondent, only your experience on NSW roads will be captured and analysed. The information you provide will only be viewed by the research team.
The outcomes of this study will be published by the NRMA-ACT Road Safety Trust and also conference papers and journal articles may ensue from the project.
