Another large change I saw in Victoria over those 40 years was a massive change in the public attitude towards the acceptability of drink driving. They still have some way to go, I think, to catch up with places like Europe where people are shocked if you consider driving after 2 beers. Victoria seems to have taken all the low-hanging fruit from the road toll, and will have to work hard to get further gains. Many of those remaining 300 deaths are suicides or pedestrians who "made no attempt to avoid the vehicle" which I think means they were drunk and passed out on the road, or something like that.
