 As a first responder, we see firsthand the devastating impact of road accidents and the crippling, lasting effect left on our communities. Country roads are where we see the highest portion of lives lost every year. CFA responded to 63 road accidents last Queen's birthday long weekend. Some of these were fatal. It doesn't matter how well you know the road. Don't take risks and always drive to the conditions. We will be there when our community needs us. But what we want is for every journey on Victorian roads this long weekend to be a safe one.
