Police will be out in force on Queensland roads during the school holidays to keep an eye on motorists<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 22, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

The State Government is imploring Queensland motorists to take more care and drive responsibly during the September school holidays.<\/p>\n

Road Safety Minister Mark Bailey has urged families to stay safe after a horror weekend on the State\u2019s roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge all motorists to obey speed limits, drive to the conditions and keep your eyes firmly fixed on the road,\u201d Mr Bailey said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been another tragic start to a holiday period with six people losing their lives on our roads over the weekend, it\u2019s just not good enough.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart goes out to all the families involved and it\u2019s just the worst possible start to what should be a fun holiday period for so many families.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe clear safety messages we are sending out are not getting through to motorists and we don\u2019t want a repeat of the shocking Easter road toll back in April.”<\/p>\n

Harsher laws are now in effect for drivers who repeatedly use their mobile phones behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

\u201cMotorists should be vigilant at all times because road deaths are heartbreaking for the whole community and sadly most of them are preventable,\u201d Mr Bailey said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe golden rules are for drivers to slow down, obey the road rules, put your mobile phone away and don\u2019t drive tired or under the influence of alcohol and drugs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is nothing so important that involves risking your life and those of other road users while driving to and from destinations, it\u2019s as simple as that.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

There have been 169 fatalities on Queensland roads so far this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
