No one is immune from this police this Christmas!
As I found out the other evening, no one is immune from this years police blitz over Christmas. As I travelled up the M1 towards Queensland’s Sunshine Coast I found myself on the receiving end of a speed laser gun which clocked me at 114km/hr in a 100km/hr zone.
So just remember this Christmas break to watch the fatal four killers - speeding, driving drunk, driving without wearing a seatbelt and fatigue.
Speeding motorists - Observe the speed limits at all times and don't exceed the signed maximum speed limit.
Driving drunk - Depending on your age, driving experience and the type/class vehicle being driven, a driver's alcohol concentration may be required to be zero. If you are unsure whether you are over the legal limit - DO NOT DRIVE.
Seatbelts - Buckle-up your seatbelt whilst travelling in a motor vehicle this could save your life. You can be fined if you don't wear a seatbelt.
Driver fatigue - Have a good sleep before your trip and be aware of the dangers of driving when tired and on unfamiliar roads. When travelling long distances, a minimum of a 15-minute rest is recommended every two hours. In peak holiday periods, look for Driver Reviver stops, where you can rest, have a free snack and a coffee or tea.
