As part of Queensland Road Safety Week, Windorah Police located in remote South West Queensland, teamed up with Judy Lindsay from CARS (Citizens Against Road Slaughter) at the Windorah Service Station.

Windorah Police conducted a driveway service by, fuelling up cars and cleaning windscreens for the tourists and motorists.

While Windorah Police were doing this, Judy Lindsay was engaging with the motorist and speaking of her personal experience in the loss of her daughter as a result of a drink driver.

Later on, Windorah Police and Judy Lindsay went a round of golf with some of the local Windorah residents.

Prior to teeing off, Judy spoke to the locals in relation to the importance of road safety and the impact that drink driving can have on families and individuals.

Judy introduced the locals to Hayley’s Story found on www.cars.asn.au/judys-story/. The message was very well received and everybody enjoyed their round of golf, which also gave Judy some one on one time with individuals to tell her story.
