Queensland Road Safety Week – August 17 - 21, 2015
Join the drive to save Lives!!
Drink driving is one of the major killers on Queensland roads.
In 2013, drink driving accounted for 64 fatalities on Queensland roads – close to a quarter of all fatalities.
Drinking alcohol reduces your ability to drive safely. Alcohol affects your judgement, vision, coordination and reflexes – increasing your risk of crashing.
Tips for keeping safe
- Plan to stay at a friend’s place rather than drive.
- We’re all responsible for keeping our roads safe. If you’re going to be drinking, plan ahead and make arrangements to get home safely, and avoid driving the morning after.
- If you’re going out drinking, consider alternative forms of transport such as using a taxi or public transport.
