When driving, do you obey this Qld road rule? If not, start from today β¦ give way when turning.
5 Aug 2024
Thanks goes to @QueenslandWalks & @fel_caldwell of @brisbanetimes for reporting on this.
Far too often people fail to comply with the law and give way when turning into a side street.
We need better education but more importantly better infrastructure!

Australia spends less than 2% of all health spending on prevention. We call on all Australian governments to commit at least 5% of the health budget to health promotion & illness prevention.
