During 2017, there were 1227 people killed on the roads.
Only 12 days were fatality free.
Research conducted by the Australian Road Safety Foundation and Bob Jane T-Marts showed 91 per cent of Australian drivers agree car crashes are the result of bad decisions, maybe to speed or use a mobile, or attitudes.
There were also four out of five drivers who said preventing road deaths was the personal responsibility of road users.
