    The fuel crisis and Australians’ love affair with petrol guzzling monster cars

    Now that the government is spruiking BIG car owners to "unload excess weight" and do their 'little bit' because of dwindling reserves, we are looking back on last year 's headlines to unravel how we got here.:

    " Australians are obsessed with SUVs and huge utes, but experts say they are making our roads deadlier
    theguardian.com/australia-news

    * Big cars are increasing Australia’s emission and fuel bills – but what are the alternatives for families?
    theguardian.com/australia-news

    * ‘You have unmet needs’: the psychology behind Australia’s love affair with big cars
    theguardian.com/australia-news

    * Road hogs: what is Australia’s love of big cars costing us all?
    theguardian.com/global/2025/ma

    * The cars eating Australia: should we be trying to reverse our attraction to SUVs and utes?
    theguardian.com/australia-news

    ** The Government launches $20 million fuel saving campaign: "Every little bit helps" Along with asking the public to consider using their car less, the ads promote tips to improve vehicle fuel efficiency, such as "driving smoothly" and "unloading excess weight". >>

    More people are killed on Australian roads.

    "Deaths on Australian roads have increased every year since 2020. This is despite the Australian government’s commitment to Vision Zero – having zero deaths or serious injuries on our roads by 2050."

    "Unfortunately, 1,317 road deaths were recorded in 2025, a 1.9% increase from 2024. Land transport accidents also remain a leading cause of death for children and young adults, and the third leading cause of injury hospitalisations." >>
    theconversation.com/more-peopl

    Comments: To "look at the entire system of road use" one must not just have the car as the road user in mind but the entire mobility design and their associated industries. The focus should be on public infrastructure that enable active and safe mobility (walking and cycling) for all. "Good mobility design" does not kill, maim, pollute or leads to planetary heating.

    Road deaths
    "Australian road deaths rising to levels not seen in nearly a decade."

    "Last year, 1,266 Australians died from road accidents involving at least one car and a driver, passenger, pedestrian or cyclist. The economic cost of Australian road trauma exceeds $27 billion each year. That's 1.8 per cent per cent of Australia's GDP."
    "Vision Zero: no loss of life or serious injury on roads is acceptable.">>
    theconversation.com/can-we-cut

    Car dependency in Australia is unquestioned. The 'road toll' is a sacrifice to private mobility in sprawling sub-urbia. The present 'mobility design' gives people no options to travel on (fossil fuel free) public transport, walk or cycle without fear of being maimed or squashed by a SUV.

    Killer roads

    "Five people died and four were injured in three car crashes across NSW since 2pm Monday. Federal data released this week shows the national road death toll increased 7 per cent from 2022 to last year, while the NSW toll jumped 25 per cent."
    abc.net.au/news/2024-01-16/hor

    They call for more data on the "death Toll", money and more (killer) roads, but never for a radical infrastructure redesign. No data on "roadkill" of native animals either.

    Killer roads

    Where is the infrastructure where one does not have to be propelled by fossil fuel at high speed?
    Each (new) road should have a shady and separated cycling and walking infrastructure factored in.
    Wildlife crossings all along the way.

    Australia’s road toll continues to rise with 37 additional people killed in 'accidents' compared to the previous 12 months, despite a nationwide target to halve road deaths by 2030.

    “The rising road toll came despite a National Road Safety Action Plan target to halve deaths by 2030 and cut serious transport injuries by 30%. In 2023, Australia is unable to adequately quantify the extent of road trauma, or the effectiveness of interventions being deployed to reduce it.”

    Australia’s rising road toll
    “Data shows an increase in #speeding and running red lights in NSW and Victoria. ‘People have less patience with #traffic now after the #roads were much quieter for years.”

    “There were 1,204 deaths on Australian roads in the 12 months to 31 March, an almost 6% increase. Of the total deaths, 557 were drivers, up 2.2%, while 189 were passengers, up 3.8%. #Pedestrian deaths increased by 22.6%, rising to 163, while motorcyclist deaths climbed 7% to 246.”

    “People in regional Australia were almost five times more likely to die in road #crashes than those living in cities last year, the latest statistics show.'

    “#Children involved in a fatal crash are eight times more likely to have been struck by an SUV than a standard car.”

    “The exponential rise in freight truck and heavy vehicle movements has far outstripped population growth.”

    Reduce #RoadFatalities> “Design roads to appear riskier, which would slow down traffic and force users to consider each other. As driving becomes automated and requires less constant attention, it has de-skilled us as drivers.”
    #Infrastructure for #walking and #cycling would help. Meanwhile, #Bellingen widens country roads..
