Ms Paula Hilman:

I do not think anyone sets out to be involved in a fatal traffic collision. Even over that weekend and despite the fact that we did additional media work, we could see what was happening. We appealed to everyone to take care on the roads, especially on the Monday because we knew people would be driving back home. We were looking carefully at what was happening that weekend. Without making judgments, each of the collisions is subject to thorough investigation by the forensic collision investigators and the investigating officers. It comes back to what Chief Superintendent Hennebry talked about regarding our messaging. We need more people within communities saying "Let us look out for one another and let us change behaviours". The focus of the Slow Down campaign we launched on Monday is that we all have a responsibility for road safety. We all need to look out for one another. By all of us slowing down, we can help reduce the numbers of people being killed or seriously injured on our roads. We have looked at some of the collisions.
