Overview

From 1 January 2006 it became illegal in Western Australia for passengers to ride in any load spaces. This includes the back of utes, trucks or panel vans, even if the vehicle is fitted with a rollover cage. The Office of Road Safety has developed brochures, posters and a culturally appropriate television and radio campaign to make people from Aboriginal communities aware of the changes.
