RAA has issued its top four tips for South Australians ahead of New Year’s Eve (NYE), encouraging South Australians to plan their trip to and from their NYE celebrations.
As South Australians descend on public places, watch firework displays and move around the state to bring in the New Year, RAA is urging everyone to plan their trip and look out for one another.
Staying safe this NYE
RAA Senior Manager of Safety and Infrastructure Charles Mountain said planning ahead was key to having a safe NYE.
“Being prepared is very important on NYE and we’re encouraging everyone to make sure they know how they’re getting to and from their NYE celebrations before the night begins,” Mr Mountain said.
“Planning ahead takes the pressure off and reduces the risk of making a wrong decision if you’ll be celebrating with a few drinks.
“Public transport is free on the night to get you there and home safely.
“Keep in mind that ride sharing services and taxis will be extremely busy so be prepared to wait or book in advance if possible.
“Of course, if you’re planning on driving, please take extra care on the road and keep an eye out for vulnerable road users like pedestrians, especially around celebration hot spots.
“We want everyone to stay safe, have a great time and to start the New Year without any road safety incidents.”
