Local Police would
like to remind all school families to take care when using our roads,
especially over these school holidays.
The roads around the coast are busy
with an influx of visitors and Maroochydore police will be out in force over
the holiday period.
The community’s safety is our
priority and police will continue to target the fatal five which are speeding,
drink and drug driving, not wearing a seatbelt, driving while fatigued and
driving distracted.
Too many Queensland drivers are
being distracted while on the road by things like mobile phones, complex sound
systems, on-board DVD players and satellite navigation, to name a few.
The message is clear these
school holidays if motorists continue to make poor choices on our local roads
and endanger other road users they can expect a fine and a loss of demerit
points.
Please remember to plan your
trip ahead, take a break, rest, revive and survive.
