In partnership with the Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC), the Queensland Trucking Association Ltd (QTA) with the strong support of member fleet Lindsay Australia, has a new set of b-double trailers on the road featuring lively barramundi fish imagery that promotes safe following distances between vehicles on the road.

Launched in December 2022, the striking ‘one barramundi, two barramundi, three barramundi’ imagery supports MAIC’s safety campaign to increase public awareness of the dangers of tailgating by encouraging motorists to be more conscious of safe following distances.

An easy way to do this is to count out these three barramundis’ which equates to about 3 seconds.
