Drive safely across Easter, school holidays

Road safety never takes a holiday and it starts with me.

That's the simple and sobering message Toowoomba Regional Council and emergency services representatives are imploring residents to remember across Easter and the school holidays.

TRC representatives today (April 6, 2023) reinforced safe motoring messages along with senior officers from the Queensland Police Service, Queensland Ambulance Service and the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service at Toowoomba's Kitchener Street fire station.

Toowoomba Region Mayor Paul Antonio said road users could not afford to relax nor ignore basic road rules at a busy time on the Region's roads.

"Unfortunately, road crash figures indicate motorists are taking too many risks that endanger other road users and themselves," Mayor Antonio said.
