Speeding
Speeding continues to be one of the major killers on Queensland roads. During 2007 there were 95 fatalities as a result of speed-related crashes—representing approximately 26 per cent of Queensland's road toll. Speeding also contributes to numerous crashes involving serious injury and increases the severity of crashes caused by other factors, such as drink driving and fatigue. Speeding is defined as driving at a speed over the posted speed limit or at a speed that is inappropriate given the driving conditions (for example rain, fog, traffic volume and flow, and so on).
