Queensland Road Safety Week – Impaired driving
Today’s theme is ‘drink and drug driving’ and RACQ have released alarming statistics around drink driving behaviour.
Tell us your best tip to avoid drink driving.
Plan not to drink and drive
• If you plan to drink, plan to get home safely.
• Designate a driver, catch a taxi or public transport, or organise a lift.
• Stay at a mate’s place
• You can still be over the limit in the morning, so avoid driving.
Visit Join The Drive for event information and to find out how you can get involved and follow the conversation on social media using the hashtag #SpeakUpforRoadSafety.
Queensland Road Safety Week is a chance for all Queenslanders to be involved in making our roads safer.
‘Speaking up for road safety’ is the focus and we’re encouraging the whole community to have their say.
Communities, schools, sporting groups and workplaces are encouraged to support the Week through hosting local events or sharing road safety information among staff, students, colleagues, family and friends.
You can share a personal story, suggest a road safety tip, talk to your kids, family and friends about staying safe, or make a pledge to improve just one thing to be safer on the road.
Each day of the Week will focus on different road safety issues, kicking off with speed on Monday, drink and drug driving on Tuesday, distractions, seatbelts and child restraints on Wednesday, sharing the road on Thursday and fatigue on Friday.
