It's not just other vehicles we need to look out for on the road. 🦘🐨
In regional and country areas, animals can appear suddenly and without warning. For truckies, surprises like this can quickly become dangerous when not paying attention.
Be prepared by slowing down in signed areas, scanning the roads, and driving to the conditions - it can make all the difference. Stay focused behind the wheel to keep yourself, other drivers, and animals safe.
