Queensland Roads: Dangerous Close Calls for Emergency Responders

Queensland roads see a surge in close calls with emergency responders and tow truck drivers, with a triple increase in near misses in the last six months. RACQ shares footage of dangerous maneuvers, reminding drivers to move over and slow down when they see flashing lights. The Move Over, Slow Down laws have been advocated since 2017, but the road toll continues to rise, now nearing 330 deaths this year. Police are stepping up enforcement, targeting risky behaviors such as speeding, distractions, and not wearing seatbelts. The call is for all road users to be more aware and respectful of each other, especially those working in hazardous conditions. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
