Riverina Highway Patrol Inspector Darren Moulds said National Road Safety Week is about drivers taking responsibility of not only the safety of themselves and their passengers when driving, but also everyone else.
"Stick to the road rules, obey the speed limit, wear seat-belts, don't use distraction devices such as mobile phones, don't drink and drive and also, make sure your vehicle is road worthy, keep up with the maintenance," Inspector Moulds said.

Inspector Moulds said people often don't understand the severity of consequences they may face.
"The consequences can be severe, whether it be through inhering or if you're found guilty of seriously injuring or killing someone," he said.
"The consequences there are quite serious, that can have life-changing consequences to you and your family as well and not just the person who was injured or killed and their family and friends."
