The science behind why our brains are Hard Wired;
Our brain is designed to conserve energy [ it’s survival thing ], it will workout what is a routine task, put these process into the Autopilot section of our brain to to look after and complete .
Let’s look at a typical Postie, delivering mail for the past 10, 20 or even 30 years, their round becomes a routine, the brain has passed this routine to the
autopilot, the postie comes complacent, until changes to the regular pattern comes across, and is of high danger to the postie, then skilled postie will react and deal with road danger as best as trained.

As part of a team of Safety Advisors, we provide expert safety advice and support on a wide range of safety processes and practices
at a local level. At Australia Post we do more than this – my role is known as a “Safety Partner” involves working closely with
operational managers to implement and drive safety activities and empower managers to make decisions that will reduce the risk
of safety incidents and ultimately keep posties safe.
Now I invited you here tonight, because I had a motorbike accident and I wanted our community to practice some of the training posties get to stay safe day-in, day-out, …cars, motorbikes and bicycles share the road, but not all practice the Intense road safety Australian Posties regularly attend.
