It’s day three of the Queensland Road Safety Week and Ipswich Police are focusing on Heavy Vehicle Safety.
Crashes involving heavy vehicles are often serious because of their size and weight, regardless who is at fault.
Road safety is everyone’s business
Heavy vehicle drivers are reminded to:
Be aware of other road users – they don’t always know your blind spots
BIG trip ahead? Plan your rest stops by downloading the ‘RESTSPACE’ app
When driving a long vehicle, you can legally use more than one lane to turn. Just ensure you give other road users enough warning by indicating as early as possible
Drive to the conditions of the road
Be patient and don’t rush to your destination
Don’t drive tired
Make sure your vehicle is mechanically sound, serviced and load secured
Remember: all road users are responsible for road safety.
Play your part and stay safe while driving on Queensland Roads.
Don’t make this your last trip!
