Fill out this Survey from the Department of Transport and Main Roads about young people and car safety 🚗

You will enter into a draw to win one of two $200 gift cards 💰 it closes tomorrow, so be quick 🙌

🚦 Did you know that young people are some of Queensland’s most at risk road users? 🚗

Research shows that young drivers and riders are 60% more likely to be involved in a serious road incident than licensed mature adult drivers and riders 😓😓 that’s why the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads wants your views on car safety – so they can better understand the factors that might lead to this happening, and maybe help to solve the problem.

This short survey will ask you a few questions about:
• Yourself.
• The current car you drive; and
• Your thoughts about car safety.
(You’ll also go into a draw to win one of two $200 gift cards if you complete the survey in full)

Complete the survey before Friday 10th May. Check the comments for the link.

The survey is voluntary, and you can stop at any time. Your responses will remain confidential. At the end of the survey, you will be asked to provide your contact details to be entered into the draw. Your contact details will be kept separate to your survey responses, so your information remains private. There is a voluntary option to select whether you consent to being contacted to further participate in the research through a focus group, which could be virtual or in person. If you are selected, you will be paid for your time.
