Belt Up 40 years of seatbelts saving lives in Victoria The Transport Accident Commission will mark 40 years since Victoria became the first jurisdiction in the world to make it mandatory to wear a seatbelt, by renewing calls for people to wear a seatbelt every time they get in the car. Victoria has led the world on road safety measures and the introduction of mandatory seatbelt wearing has undoubtedly saved thousands of lives on Victorian roads over the past 40 years. Wearing a seatbelt became mandatory in 1970 after a community and media campaign amid concerns over the high road toll of the time. The legislation was followed by an immediate reduction in the road toll, from 1,061 in 1970 to 923 in 1971- a drop of 13 per cent. Victoria’s decision was followed by the other Australian states within two years and has since been emulated around the world. International research shows that seatbelts reduce the risk of serious injury by up to 50 per cent. A quarter of car drivers and passengers killed each year in Victoria are not wearing seatbelts, so remember to wear a seatbelt every time they get in the car.

Green Copenhagen inspires taxi industry The greenest city in Europe, that is the accolade the Danish capital, Copenhagen, received from the Economist Intelligence Unit in this year’s European European Green City Index. A 2009 IRU survey in selected countries showed that the taxi industry is increasingly investing in greener fleets and operations. In countries such as Sweden, Switzerland and Norway, hybrid cars already represent at least 3% of the market share, and an important number of taxis is running on alternative fuels in Brazil (86% ethanol), Bulgaria (70% LPG and CNG), Germany (22% CNG) or Sweden (18% CNG, biogas). by Wim Faber D REPLACEMENT TAXIS MID 2009 COMPLIANCED FG XT FALCONS FG XT SEDAN 05/2009 $24,950 INJ LPG/DUAL FUEL AND YELLOW ALLOY WHEELS & REVERSE SENSORS READY TO GO S/N 391 07/2009 FG XT SEDAN $23,750 INJ LPG DUAL FUEL & YELLOW ALLOY WHEELS & REVERSE SENSORS 07/2009 FG XT SEDAN $16,900 S/N NOTE: NO LPG - NO YELLOW - BASE CAR ONLY 10/2008 FG XT SEDAN 398 ALLOY WHEELS & REVERSE SENSORS S/N 393 $20,750 DED.
