Sadly, we haven't even begun the holiday period, and Queensland's Road Toll has already reached 299.

From news.com.au

A fatal crash in Brisbane today brought the road toll to 299, tragically matching targets set by Queensland authorities to keep the toll at under 300 in 2009.

And with the holidays still 7 weeks away, we are approaching a time of year when the road toll usually soars.

Speeding and fatigue are two of the main contributers to the holiday road toll. You can read more about speeding and safe driving on the safety tips section of the Real Insurance website.
