The Transportation Accident Commission (TAC) is a Victorian (Australia) Government-owned organization set up in 1986. Its role is to pay for treatment and benefits for people injured in transport accidents. It is also involved in promoting road safety in Victoria and in improving Victoria’s trauma system.

TAC has produced many provocative public awareness advertisements over the years. One in particular that features the music of REM tends to make the rounds on YouTube this time of year. We have provided the link below.

The women and men of the Corpus Christi Police Department respond to and deal with the tragic consequences of drunk driving all too often. We hope everyone enjoys the holiday season and makes smart choices not to operate a vehicle when impaired.
