We’re running a Good Sports Game Ready Round because our club is taking a stand against drink driving. 

Why is this Round important to our club?

We know that drink driving makes up over 30% of the fatal road toll in Australia, with over 1 in 4 drivers and passengers killed showing a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) over the legal limit. And, in the last five years, 41% of all drivers and motorcyclists killed (who were tested) had drugs in their system.

The stats are even more concerning in the country. 55% of road crash deaths occur in regional areas of Australia, where many sporting clubs are located far from members’ homes.

Even one death on our roads is too many.

Unfortunately, drink driving is still common at clubs across Australia. In a survey, a third of young adult community sporting club members said they drove home after drinking five or more standard drinks.

Together, we can get this important message across: don’t drink and drive. You have the power to save lives.
