'I want to ask drivers to particularly be mindful of children using the roads during the school holidays or making their way to the Royal Show,' Ms Roberts said.
'The emotional aftermath of a serious road crash doesn't just impact the families affected, but our emergency service workers too.'
Acting Road Safety Commissioner Iain Cameron has warned motorists to stay alert.
'Three out of four fatal and serious injury crashes on WA roads are not caused by a risk-taking behaviour, but by someone who may be tired, a bit distracted or has a momentary lapse in concentration,' he said.
'A micro-sleep of four or five seconds at 110km/h is like driving the length of Optus Stadium with your eyes shut.
'Fatigue is the silent killer on our roads, please don't drive after being awake for a long period of time, make sure you're well rested, plan your journey with regular stops along the way and if you can, switch drivers.'

The long weekend marks...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
