Summary
Young drivers in Queensland are taking bigger risks—and the numbers are alarming. Nearly 30% of 18-24-year-olds admit to not wearing seatbelts, up 9% from last year, while over 22% confess to driving high, also a sharp rise. These reckless behaviors are deadly: P-plate drivers caused 10% of road deaths last year. With over 300 lives lost last year—the highest in 16 years—officials are pushing for random drug tests and mandatory testing at crash scenes to stop preventable tragedies before they happen.
