Data collected by the insurer found differences between the crash records for Queensland and the rest of Australia.

In Queensland female drivers were more likely than males to be involved in a crash, the opposite of the Australia-wide trend.

Nationally, Friday afternoon was the worst time for a crash, but on Gympie Road at Chermside it was Thursday’s between 9am and 1 pm.

Four new locations entered the top 10 crash sites in Queensland: Logan Road, at Eight Mile Plains, Sandgate Road in Clayfield, Hamilton Road, Chermside, and Moggill Road, Indooroopilly, all featuring in the list.

Mains Road, Sunnybank, was ranked behind Gympie Road at number two, and Logan Road, Eight Mile Plains, came in third.

AAMI’s head of motor customer engagement Tammy Hall said that while each of the top hotspots around the country had their individual factors determining their danger, many of them shared commonalities.

The hotspots were generally major roads intersecting with local streets through high-traffic areas and were busy all day.

“Gympie Road is often referred to as the worst road in North Brisbane, synonymous with congestion and collisions, as indicated by the fact that it has topped the list for the past six years, except in 2021 when it dropped to second place,” Hall said.

“Peak hour can be absolute chaos, with heavy traffic across the multi-lanes going both ways, and many buses also taking this route to the CBD.

“For a lot of Brisbane drivers, it’s hard to avoid as it’s a main thoroughfare from the Northern suburbs to Brisbane’s CBD.

“Several other major roads feed in at different entry points, and there are multiple traffic lights and intersections, so it’s hardly surprising that it has been named as Brisbane’s top hotspot once again.”

Nose-to-tail accidents were the most common in Queensland.

Melbourne’s Plenty Road has been consistently the worst in Australia, topping the count for six years, however, the number of crashes had been reduced by a cut in the speed limit.

About 16 per cent of crashes nationwide occurred on Fridays and 28 per cent occurred between 1pm and 4.30pm.

Male drivers (54 per cent) were more likely than females (46 per cent) to be involved in an accident, and the worst offenders were drivers aged 35-49 (24 per cent).

“Most risks on the road can be mitigated if everyone pays attention and drives to the conditions. It’s up to all of us to do the right thing to ensure everyone’s safety on the road. All it takes is a split second of not having your eyes on the road for things to go wrong,” she said.
