Sign up for road safety: Mobile phones and distractions
This week is Queensland Road Safety Week and together with the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) we’re committing to putting road safety first.
In 2019, 21 lives were lost, and 1,473 people were seriously injured on Queensland roads in crashes involving distracted drivers or riders.
If you’re travelling at 60km/h and take your eyes off the road for just two seconds, your vehicle will travel more than 33 metres. With the average person’s reaction time around 1.8 seconds, this means nearly four seconds can pass before a driver reacts to a hazard!
If you’re driving distracted, you are putting yourself and others at serious risk.
Distracted driving is caused by any activity that takes your attention off the road and could include taking your eyes off the road or your hands off the steering wheel. All types of distracted driving increase your risk of a car crash, major injury and even death.
