3 QFleet Journey<br />
Would you pass the road rules test?<br />
Simple misunderst<strong>and</strong>ings <strong>of</strong> road rules have the<br />
potential to cause incidents on our roads resulting in<br />
minor collisions, major crashes, serious injury or even<br />
worse.<br />
According to the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
Transport <strong>and</strong> Main Roads (TMR),<br />
fundamental road rules about<br />
roundabouts, merging, yellow lights,<br />
safe following distances, giving way,<br />
u-turns <strong>and</strong> keeping left on multilane<br />
roads are problems for many<br />
drivers.<br />
It is every driver’s responsibility to keep up to date<br />
with road rules <strong>and</strong> help keep our roads safe. Before<br />
heading out this holiday season, why not take the time<br />
to refresh your knowledge <strong>of</strong> road rules with the Here<br />
For Life program by TMR?<br />
Visit http://hereforlife.qld.gov.au/ <strong>and</strong> test your<br />
knowledge <strong>of</strong> the Queensl<strong>and</strong> Road Rules with an<br />
online quiz.<br />
The website also has informative videos <strong>of</strong> road rules in<br />
action.<br />
Keep the rules<br />
h<strong>and</strong>y in your<br />
car or bag by<br />
downloading<br />
the Road rules<br />
refresher<br />
pocket guide.<br />
‘Tis the season to be…safe!<br />
QFleet's Safety Manager Allan Smith is hard at work<br />
updating QFleet’s Safe Driving Guide, an online<br />
resource to help drivers gain information on a range <strong>of</strong><br />
topics related to safe driving.<br />
Allan is urging drivers to slow down <strong>and</strong> take extra care<br />
on roads this Christmas <strong>and</strong> New Year period <strong>and</strong> help<br />
reduce the likelihood <strong>of</strong> crashes, injuries <strong>and</strong> fatalities.<br />
New safety fact sheets on a range <strong>of</strong> topics have been<br />
recently added to the Safe Driving Guide to help drivers<br />
stay safe on roads, including journey planning,<br />
passenger behaviour, driver distractions, driving on<br />
country roads <strong>and</strong> managing road rage.<br />
The guide is useful not only to QFleet clients <strong>and</strong> those<br />
involved in fleet management, but also to anyone else<br />
who ventures onto our roads.<br />
If you have specific questions related to fleet vehicle or<br />
driver safety please contact Allan on<br />
QFLEET-Safety@qfleet.qld.gov.au.<br />
Season's greetings<br />
from the QFleet team.<br />
Have a safe <strong>and</strong> a very<br />
happy New Year!
