The most important part of a night out is making it home. Vanessa arms young people with the tools they need to make road-safe decisions, in the moment they need them, with zero judgement. Looks like you really can have your cake and eat it too.

Here's How

Drink Driving

Drink driving is dangerous, and not just because red wine is hard to get out of car upholstery. If you’re planning a night out, go a step further and plan how you’ll be getting home, whether via a lift, rideshare or PT. You’ll thank yourself in the morning.

Drug Driving

If you’re taking anything stronger than a Panadol there’s a good chance it’s going to affect your driving ability – especially if said drug isn’t legal – so it’s a good idea to avoid mixing the two.

Distractions

It doesn’t matter how much the group chat is blowing up, it can wait until you’re out of the car. Don’t waste your last words on an emoji.

Drowsy Driving

One minute you’re driving, the next you’re sitting your high school exams in your underwear, and that’s not even the worst part – fatigue can be fatal in the blink of an eye.

Speeding

Ever sped past someone just to awkwardly meet them at the next set of lights? This alone should be motivation enough to stick to the speed limit. If not, maybe a $230 fine will change your mind.

Vehicle Safety

Looking for a vintage car on Facebook Marketplace? We hate to burst your bubble but your mum's right; the safety rating should come first when purchasing a vehicle. Don't worry, safe cars come in a variety of colours, sizes and best of all, the ability to fit even the thriftiest of budgets.

The Vanessa Fleet consists of our Big V bus, minivan and Bute. You’ll see the fleet at uni open days and some of the best music festivals in Victoria, spreading good vibes and good advice.
