Being a driver has many responsibilities. Some are related to owning a motor vehicle, while others are the responsibility of all drivers.
If a motor vehicle is registered in your name, you're responsible for making sure it meets all the requirements.
Responsible driving means driving with the safety and convenience of all road users in mind.
Seatbelts and child restraints protect people by holding them in their seats when there’s a crash or when the vehicle stops suddenly.
Learn what to do if your vehicle breaks down on the motorway or other road.
As a responsible driver, you need to know the signs that tell you when a crash scene is ahead and what your responsibilities are if you’re involved in a crash or if you come across a crash.
Traffic laws are to protect the safety of all road users. You can face penalties if you commit driving offences.
