Plan your trip
Travelling over the holiday period can sometimes mean extended delays as you join the queue with other people travelling around the state.
To help make your journey safer and less stressful here are a few things to consider.
Slow down
Speeding is still the biggest killer on our roads, so slow down.
Double demerits points are in place from midnight Wednesday 27 March to midnight Monday 1 April.
Double demerits will also apply over the Anzac day public holiday period.
More information on demerit points.
Driver fatigue
Driver fatigue can be a real problem on the road especially on long trips, know the signs and take a break. Find out where rest areas and driver reviver stops are on you travel route.
Travel delays
With more cars on the road during the holiday period make sure you factor in additional travel time. This should include considerations like extra food, water, medicine and other essentials.
