Two people were killed in a single car accident at Tweed Heads on the state’s far north coast, while a man in his 20s died when his car hit a tree near Tamworth.
A 29 year-old was killed in an accident near Kangaroo Island in South Australia and the Northern Territory recorded it’s first road death for the Christmas season.
It comes as senior police warned against driver complacency as hopes of a record low annual road toll remain in the balance.
Supt Neville Taylor said that could change quickly at this “fickle” time of year.
He said many families would today set off on holidays after a tiring Christmas intent on travelling long distances.
He said highway patrol officers would be out in big numbers through the Christmas road toll period, which ends on January 8.
Supt Taylor said a new record would be a good result, but the improvement needed to be sustained.
“If we get under 288, and I’m hopeful, it will be the fourth year in a row under the record road toll, and that’s never happened,” he said.
“The important thing is we keep driving the road toll down. What do we do now to drive it down another 50?”
Supt Taylor said at least one potential tragedy had been averted when a drink-driving mother with a car-load of kids was intercepted at Ballarat.
The 45-year-old, with three kids on board blew a 0.257 blood-alcohol level and explained to officers she just wanted to take her children out to see the Christmas lights.
“It’s a fact of life that, every now and then, you see situations like this and think, ‘what’s going through her mind’?”
The woman’s licence was suspended for a year. She is expected to be charged on summons.
