Anti-drink driving

Drink driving continues to be one of the major killers on Queensland's roads.

The Department of Transport and Main Roads regularly runs anti-drink driving public education campaigns that are closely coordinated with Queensland Police Service enforcement efforts (such as random breath testing).

Current campaign

The most recent anti-drink driving public education campaign encourages motorists to Think before you drink. Think twice before you drive. The campaign uses, television, outdoor and ambient advertising (including advertising in pubs and clubs). The advertising is scheduled to appear during holiday periods and long weekends — statistics show a higher proportion of drink driving related crashes at these times.

The campaign first went to air over Christmas on 17 December 2010 until 22 January 2011 and will run again from 10 April 2011 until July 2011.

A number of television commercials are being developed to run in phases and are planned to run at various times until 2013. Two television commercials will appear over the Easter period 17 April - 4 June 2011.

The first commercial 'Reflections – anxious and uncertain' encourages motorists to consider the consequences of their intention to drink and drive by the people who matter most to them.

The second commercial 'Reflections – Police presence' reminds motorists you can be caught for drink driving anywhere, anytime.
