The Queensland Police Service said it is committed to reducing the number of lives lost on the state's roads, but that enforcement alone cannot stop all dangerous driving behaviours. Police said driving under the influence, speeding, driving distracted or fatigued, or not wearing a seatbelt puts lives at serious risk, and that road safety starts with each driver.
