Survive the drive
Queenslanders excited to be planning a road trip during the upcoming school holidays have been urged to make safety their top priority.
Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said highways around the state would be busier as holiday-makers set voyage during the break.
“Queensland’s road toll is the worst we’ve seen in a decade, and sadly the behaviours which contribute to the number of lives lost and serious injuries on our roads are all avoidable,” Mr Bailey said.
“Speeding, running red lights and failing to wear seatbelts are all major contributors to our road toll.
“When there are more people on the roads, all racing to be with family or friends, we often see a spike in this dangerous behaviour.
“To encourage safer driving and deter these risky behaviours, those who choose to do the wrong thing will face significantly higher penalties for some high-risk offences from July 1.
Running a red light will now incur a $575 fine and drivers will continue to receive three demerit points for this offence.
Penalties for speeding will also rise, with high-range speeding now costing you up to a hefty $1,653 and eight demerit points.
“We’ve already seen nearly 30,000 people caught not wearing a seatbelt or not wearing one properly, which is why this offence will also see a significant increase to $1078 and an uplift in demerit points,” Mr Bailey said.
“The message is simple – if you don’t want to be penalised, do the right thing on our roads.”
