Council regularly receives complaints about speeding and hooning across the city. While these are genuine safety concerns, did you know that speeding and hooning can only be enforced by the Queensland Police Service, and should be reported directly to them? By reporting offences, you help Police identify 'hotspots' where action can be taken to stop this behaviour.
Hooning includes driving behaviour like:
The default speed limit in a built-up area is 50 kilometres per hour, unless signed otherwise. Speed limits in Queensland are determined by the Queensland Government to make sure limits are consistent and enforced to encourage safe driving and reduce crashes.
Speeding is one of the major causes of fatalities on Queensland roads. Speeding is not safe in any circumstances. Driving within the speed limit maximises your stopping distance, giving you more time to react.
You can report any dangerous, reckless or anti-social behaviour on our roads to the Queensland Police Service using the below methods:
You will need to report details like the time, location, exact nature of offences and details of the cars involved (if known).
Reporting these details will help the QPS identify hot spots where action can be taken to prevent this behaviour from occurring.
