Overview

• Since the trial began on January 26, above-vehicle AI cameras have detected more than 130,000 offences and issued over 30,000 warning letters.
• Captured behaviours range from mobile phone use and unrestrained infants to drivers drinking beer and smoking from glass pipes while unbelted.
• No fines or demerit points apply during the trial period, but penalties will be introduced in October to reinforce safer driving.
• Road Safety Commissioner Adrian Warner says every AI-captured image undergoes human review and benchmarks from Queensland show a near 75% drop in offences with similar systems.
• Police Minister Reece Whitby vows to expand fixed and mobile units statewide and invest future fine revenue into further road-safety measures.
