SAFETY PROGRAMS TO SAVE LIVES
According to the Department of Transport and Main Roads , 297 people died on Queensland roads in 2022 , the highest number in more than a decade .
The department ’ s Joanna Robinson says she was dedicated to supporting initiatives that improved road safety .
" Queensland ' s roads can take us to some incredible places to see all our state has to offer , and caravanning is a great way to travel ,” Ms Robinson said .
" The rising popularity of RVs indicates we have more drivers on our roads who are either new to caravanning or who might have returned to it after some time away , so they may not be used to handling a longer and heavier vehicle .
“ It ' s important that drivers who are inexperienced in manoeuvring such large vehicles can do so safely to avoid becoming a danger to themselves or other vehicles .
" We are very happy to support the work being done by Caravanning Queensland to promote safe travelling around the state . I encourage RV drivers and passengers to seek out the tools and resources available to ensure they have a safe trip .”
