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, more than 93 lives were lost, and 1,264 people were seriously injured in crashes involving drink or drug driving – that’s more than 40 per cent of total lives lost on our roads.
The casualty crash risk doubles when driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) just in excess of 0.05 and the risk of involvement in a fatal crash increases even more sharply.
