If you are planning a night out, you also need to plan a safe trip home – and you could win a new swag just by sharing your Plan B.
Warmer weather and the end of the year mean it’s celebration time for many, and a Transport for NSW initiative is aimed at making this summer the safest ever on our roads.
Patrons at more than 336 pubs, clubs and bottle shops across western NSW will be able to enter a competition at each participating venue to win a swag valued at around $250.
Entrants at these participating venues can take part in the ‘Win a Swag’ initiative simply by telling us their Plan B for getting home safely.
Transport for NSW Regional Director West Alistair Lunn said the message was simple for people heading out during the festive season: always have a Plan B to get back home safely” Mr Lunn said.Statistics show the devastating impact of alcohol on the state’s road toll, with drink driving playing a part in 17 per cent of all fatal crashes in NSW from 2018 to 2022 and seven per cent of serious crashes.
The impact is even greater in the bush, with a little over 50 per cent of all alcohol-related crashes between 2018 and 2022 occurring on country roads.
The Transport for NSW Win A Swag initiative will run throughout December and January, in partnership with local councils across the state.
