State-wide motorcycle blitz aims to reduce fatalities as deaths reach five-year high
The Queensland Police Service (QPS) will today launch a three-day safety blitz as motorcyclist fatalities remain on track to exceed a five-year high.
The blitz, which will continue across the weekend until Sunday 1 August, will see an increased policing presence in high traffic areas for recreational riders with officers focused on engaging with riders about safe road habits.
Assistant Commissioner Ben Marcus said the blitz was intended to protect the most vulnerable road users who were vastly overrepresented in this year’s crash data.
“So far this year 41 motorcyclists including a pillion passenger have died on our roads with lives lost being almost 40 per cent higher than the previous five years average of the same period,” Assistant Commissioner Marcus said.
