Day five of Queensland Road Safety week theme is drink and drug driving.
Drink driving
Drink driving is one of the major killers on Queensland roads, drinking alcohol reduces our ability to drive safely. Alcohol affects judgements, vision coordination and reflexes, and increases the risk of crashing.
In Queensland, Learner, Provisional and Probationary Licence holders are not permitted to drive after drinking any alcohol. They must have a zero blood/breath alcohol concentration (BAC) limit.
Open licence holders must have a BAC lower than 0.05 per cent. The same applies for supervisors of car and motorcycle learner drivers.
Plan ahead and stay safe.
If you’re going to drink, make arrangements to get home safely and avoid driving the morning after.
Consider staying at a friend’s place rather than driving, or leave the car at home and consider alternative transport such as a pre-arranged lift or public transport and designate a ‘dry driver’ if going out with others.
