Rural road deaths increasing
"A new report has identified an increasing number of fatal crashes on rural and regional roads".
"An analysis by the Australian Road Safety Foundation (ARSF) found 906 people died on roads outside the capital cities in 2025, a 10.5 per cent increase on 2024. The ARSF understands this to be the highest number of regional fatalities since 2020."
"Deaths on rural, regional and remote roads made up nearly 70 per cent of the national road toll in 2025, despite only about 25 per cent of the population living in those locations." >>

Anyone from #WeirdCarMastodon or the #motorists on here in general use this #Custodian website/app for storing #car related data?
It seems to be aimed at enthusiasts (and poshos who can afford supercars), I'm starting to put a few bits of info about the #GolfGTI on it but am wary it will become chargeable or enshittified in some way and there's no easy data export at the moment (although the devs have said they aren't planning to charge for it as its funded by selling the classic car insurance)

Roadkill - extinction by design
"Wildlife Road Awareness (WIRES) has reported a 20 per cent increase in the number of roadkill incidents across NSW in 2023."
"The problem was made worse by increasingly dry conditions in some areas of the state. This was because wildlife may need to cross roads to reach water sources or, when other food sources ran dry, macropods such as kangaroos and wallabies were attracted to the green ditches beside roads for food."https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-09-23/eurobodalla-virtual-fence-trial-reducing-roadkill-incidents/102880624
