Wide Bay District Superintendent Paul Algie said in the release officers would be out and about across the holiday break, working to keep people safe following a year in which 277 people were killed on Queensland’s roads.

“The surfaces are different from what most of us are used to and require drivers to take additional care.”

He said “defective or unroadworthy vehicles will be intercepted and drivers issued with infringement notices, and we make no apology for that”.

“Safety should be every motorist’s priority every time they get behind the wheel, regardless of their location,” he said.
