NTARC (National Truck Accident Research Centre) is a partnership between NTI, the Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC), and the National Road Safety Partnership Program (NRSPP).
Research experts unpacked the 2025 NTARC Major Incident Investigation Report and discussed:
Human factors remain the main cause of serious crashes, underscoring the need to support drivers and strengthen safety culture across the industry.
Most incidents stem from driver inattention, following distance, and speed - causes that should continue to be addressed with strategies focused on driver wellbeing and empowerment.
Inattention and distraction still top the list, but growing awareness and smarter technology are starting to turn the tide.
Close following distances remain a common challenge, especially in city traffic, highlighting the need for all road users to practice safer driving.
Speed-related crashes have steadied, showing that better training, planning, and technology are helping drivers stay in control.
"Road transport is consistently one of the most dangerous occupations in Australia. Some years it's the most dangerous on workplace deaths per employed persons. And the difference in this space is that safety is about whether people get home to their families." – Adam Gibson, NTI's Transport Research Manager.
