Too many lives are lost or changed forever on Territory roads. NT drivers are 4 times more likely to die on the road than the national average*. Road users are reminded - if you’re not ok with that, drive like our lives are worth living.

This year already, 9 people have lost their lives on our roads. This week is a timely reminder for all Northern Territory Government employees that as individuals, and as a community, we all have the power to make our roads safer.

We all have a choice to do the right thing and prevent avoidable deaths and serious injuries on Territory roads.

How to show support

We can all show support by:

• taking the pledge to 'Drive So Others Survive' – take the pledge
• displaying a yellow ribbon or sticker on your car, motorbike, truck or bicycle
• displaying the NRSW poster in your workplace
• sharing your support of the NRSW social media campaign and using the following hashtags in your photos:
  • #NRSW
  • #DriveSOS
• wearing a yellow lapel ribbon
• talking to your family, friends and colleagues about safe driving and why it’s important.

To order stickers, ribbons and a poster for your work team, please email Road.Safety@nt.gov.au.
