Police are asking drivers to do their part and slow down over the Easter/Anzac holiday period, particularly with bad weather forecast to lash many parts of the country.
From 4pm today police will again be enforcing a reduced 4km/h tolerance on speed limits following its success during the summer. That will run until 6am on Monday April 28.
"This is a logical step given the unusually long holiday period and the fact that many people will be taking the whole 10 days off and travelling in greater numbers," said national manager road policing, superintendent Carey Griffiths.
"We know that people make mistakes on the road, but that shouldn't cost you or someone else life or limb," he said.
"People have a simple choice whether or not to speed, and there is irrefutable evidence that reducing your speed by even small amounts can make all the difference in whether you walk away from a crash or are carried away."
