Busy roads and a rush to get from holiday plan A to B can be a recipe for disaster when it comes to road safety. Each year we see a spike in road trauma around the festive period, with this year's predicted wet conditions set to exacerbate that.

Jamieson Trauma Institute Director and RBWH orthopaedic surgeon Dr Michael said that while a higher density in cars meant accidents were more likely, we can all do our part to minimise that.

"Death and lifelong disability are a real reality from motor incidents, and any head injury or significant injury can impact on quality of life and mobility, not just for the individual but for their loved ones too," he said.

"People need to be aware of the risk factors with rainy, slippery roads and more cars around, and just be extra safe this season." 🎄
