When it comes to Christmas everyone is thinking of holidaying or visiting family and friends interstate.
It’s important to consider your safety, and the safety of your loved ones, when you’re driving on Queensland roads.
Not obeying the road rules and speed limits may cost you your life, and that of another person using the road.
Drive to the conditions of the road, so that you can make that sudden stop or avoid hazards. Rest regularly by having a break every two hours for 15 minutes or share the drive with a family member or friend.
Always watch out for wildlife, especially at dawn or dusk, and beware of soft edges and flooded roads.
If you’re going to change your plans, advise your family and friends and check road conditions, especially if there has been a change in weather due to storms or fire.
Be courteous to other road users and respect wide loads and heavy vehicles.
