Ah, the classic 'red light dash' question. In Queensland, as in most of Australia, driving through a red light is generally illegal—unless you’re an authorised emergency vehicle such as a police car on an urgent call, with lights and sirens blazing.
Under the Queensland Road Rules, police officers can proceed through red lights if it's necessary to perform their duties safely and promptly. But don’t go thinking you can mimic this heroic move in your own Holden.
For the rest of us mere mortals, running a red light means a nice fine and demerit points, not a badge of honour. Always check the official Queensland government transport site for full legal details.
