Our Regional Coordinator for the Western Pacific Region, Mr Joel Tucker updated us of recent campaign launched in New South Wales, Australia called, ‘Get Your Hand Off It’. It offers a comical approach to a music video to raise awareness of distracted driving, created in three genres of music.
Minister for Roads and Ports Duncan Gay today launched the next stage of the NSW Government’s ‘Get Your Hand Off It’ road safety campaign on mobile phone distraction.
During a visit to Tamworth, Minister Gay released new ‘Get Your Hand Off It’ videos including a country music version.
“This is one of the biggest road safety issues in NSW. Taking your hand off the wheel and taking your eyes off the road to text or use social media threatens the safety of all road users,” Minister Gay said.
“Our cheeky slogan ‘Get Your Hand Off It’ is about making the practice of using your phone while driving unacceptable. “It’s been hugely successful in sparking awareness of the risks. Our first You Tube video featuring Derek received more than 620,000 hits before being expanded to mainstream media.
