As travel ramps up for the holiday season, Tasmania Police have released dash cam footage of ‘very close calls’ caused by reckless Tassie drivers.
The footage shows numerous near misses caused by drivers who were either impatient or distracted, with Police saying they could have easily resulted in lives lost on Tasmanian roads.
This year, Police will be out and about in both marked and unmarked cars and motorbikes in known areas with high rates of unsafe driving behaviour.
“The goal is clear – let’s all make sure everyone gets where they’re going safely this holiday period,” said Assistant Commissioner Adrian Bodnar.
“Last year we had two people killed and seven people seriously injured in crashes on Tasmanian roads during the festive season.”
“We hope by sharing these examples we can help bring home our very simple message: if you’re out on the roads we need you to pay attention, buckle up, watch your speed, rest if you’re tired, and never drink drive.”
“Small mistakes cost lives.”
