March 29, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

About half of all speed-related crashes which kill or seriously injure people happen at 10km\/h or less over the speed limit … and one in three people killed or injured isn’t the driver.<\/p>\n

A new Easter road safety campaign will be urging drivers to rethink their speeding habits on Queensland roads by highlighting the dangers of low-level speeding.<\/p>\n

“Speeding contributed to nearly a quarter of the road toll last year, but many motorists still think they can speed safely,” Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said.<\/p>\n

“The new advertisement shows how everyday people can be adversely affected by speed through one wrong choice on the road.<\/p>\n

“It challenges viewers to change the way we look at speed by showing the negative effects of speeding from the different points of view of those involved.”<\/p>\n

Mr Bailey said the campaign – \u2018Let\u2019s change the way we look at speed\u2019 – will run for three weeks during the Easter school holidays.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We know the Easter holidays are a busy time on Queensland roads,” Mr Bailey said.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, when we see an increase in traffic, we often also see an increase in the number of crashes on our roads.<\/p>\n

“More than 250 people lost their lives on Queensland roads last year.<\/p>\n

“There are no excuses for speeding. It is up to all of us to take responsibility for our driving behaviour if we want to prevent these avoidable tragedies.”<\/p>\n

Mr Bailey said the campaign was part of the Queensland Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan, which aimed to drastically reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on state roads.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Let\u2019s change the way we look at speed\u2019 campaign includes television and radio commercials, online\/digital advertising, outdoor billboards, regional press advertising, a strong social media presence, and a comprehensive speed section on the Join the Ride to Save Lives website.<\/p>\n
