Road Safety Council “Results Disappointing”
Brisbane: “Despite the good work the Road Safety Council had already done the results are disappointing,” said Mr. Wood (Lab., North Toowoomba) in Parliament yesterday when speaking on the Transport Department’s estimates.
Mr. Wood said that the Road Safety Council should look for new methods of impressing on the public the danger of road accidents. In 1948-49 130 people were killed on Queensland roads. In 1949-50 the figure had risen to 143. It appeared that many people could learn the principle of road safety only the hard way.
“It is really tragic to see the number of lives lost each year when a little care would have avoided the accidents,” added Mr. Wood.
