Almost 50 high-end Toyotas, Land Cruisers and RAV4s have been stolen in Brisbane in the last three weeks, with thieves using a device to hack the cars. RACQ’s Principal Technical Researcher, Andrew Kirk joined Luke Bradnam on 4BC Breakfast to explain how and what you can do to ensure your car is safe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brisbane is still the most expensive Australian city to fuel up in, but there are a few key areas where petrol is significantly cheaper despite the competition. RACQ’s Principal Economic and Affordability Specialist Dr Ian Jeffreys joined Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast to reveal all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The RACQ has released research findings that point to young drivers still not heeding the warning and still performing dangerous habits while behind the wheel. So we caught up with Dr Michael Caine from the RACQ about young drivers reducing the risk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Warrego Highway is one of Queensland's most dangerous highways, but little to nothing is being done to fix or upgrade the road despite several new housing developments being built alongside it. RACQ's Traffic and Safety Engineering Manager Gregory Miszkowycz joined Dean Miller on 4BC Breakfast to discuss this failing roadway.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Queensland drivers have come clean and admitted to some shocking bad habits. Dr Michael Kane from RACQ joined Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast to reveal how many drivers have admitted to driving under the influence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The RACQ is calling on the Government to implement tougher laws on E-scooters that will go as far as to confiscating illegal ones. RACQ Head of Public Policy Dr Michael Kane told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "We see two people a day on average being taken to our emergency departments from e-scooter crashes." "In the last two and a half years we've seen 15 people die and these numbers are getting worse." "So, it's time now to crack down on these illegal devices because if we don't do it now, the problem is going to get worse and worse," Dr Kane said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Overdrive: Tesla Backlash, Smarter Road Safety, and a Fresh Crop of SUVs This week on Overdrive, the show where cars and transport meet culture, David Brown and Paul Murrell cover a wide sweep of industry news, innovation, and history. Real-Time Safety Data A new agreement between Euro NCAP and the Data for Road Safety (DFRS) platform aims to improve road safety by encouraging carmakers to share real-time hazard data. The system will help vehicles warn each other of dangers like crashes or icy roads. It's a big step for Euro NCAP's 2026 safety protocols and a glimpse into how connected tech is reshaping driving. Tesla's Adelaide Trouble Tesla's plan to build a battery facility in Adelaide's south has met heavy resistance. Locals and online respondents raised concerns about environmental damage, Elon Musk's controversial image, and the loss of community land. Though battery tech is booming, this project shows how public trust matters more than just clean energy slogans. Insurance Deal Divides The ACCC has approved Insurance Australia Group's takeover of RACQ's insurance arm. RACQ sees it as a growth move, but the Motor Trades Association of Australia says it reduces competition and risks higher premiums. There's also concern over whether profits will still support traditional motor club activities like road safety advocacy. SUV Refresh: RAV4 and Forester Toyota has launched its sixth-generation RAV4 globally. It's a tech-heavy update with a new hybrid system offering up to 150km electric-only range, plus AI voice control and a rugged GR SPORT option. Subaru's next-gen Forester brings a stronger hybrid system and better handling thanks to WRX-derived steering. It retains Subaru's full-time AWD, though only petrol models include a full-size spare tyre. The SUV market is crowded, so these upgrades are key. Electric MICRA Reboots the Small Car The quirky Nissan MICRA is back, this time as a fully electric car. Built for city driving, it offers up to 408km range and a sharp new design. With other compact EVs like the Hyundai Inster on the rise, it's clear the small car is making a comeback—just with zero emissions. Land Speed Legends Paul Murrell reflects on land speed history—from Sir Malcolm Campbell's 1920s records to how ordinary cars today outperform them. Campbell's “Blue Bird” once hit 301mph and is now on display in Daytona, USA. It's a reminder of just how far—and fast—automotive progress can go. Road Test: Chery Tiggo 7 Pro We test the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, a mid-size SUV priced under $40K. It impresses with dual 12.3” screens, a full-size spare, and a solid 7-year warranty. However, its real-world fuel economy lags, the steering feels vague, and its infotainment can be tricky to use. Strong on value, but not flawless. ________________________________________ Program Links and Credits Program Date: 31 May 2025 Contributors: David Brown, Paul Murrell, Bruce Potter, Mark Wesley, Chery Australia More Info: Search Cars Transport Culture or visit carstransportculture.com Overdrive is syndicated across Australia on the Community Radio Network.

MARKET WRAP: ASX200: down 0.45%, 8348 GOLD: $3,334 US/ounce BITCOIN: $171,650 AUD BNPL pioneer Zip fell 6.5% to $1.87 after rival Klarna warned it was seeing more customers struggling to repay their loans. Wesfarmers expects losses in its lithium business, with shares down 1.2% to $83.90. Brent Crude fell back below $65 US a barrel, wiping 1.3% from Woodside and 0.9% from Santos.

The RACQ has released Queensland’s most dangerous roads. Topping the list is the Mount Glorious Tourist Drive which has seen 59 fatal crashes between 2019 and 2023. RACQ Road Safety and Technical Manager Joel Tucker told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "Your hinterland roads aren't designed with a lot of the other safety features." "They don't have divided traffic, there's no centre barriers and things like that to prevent head-ons." "So rider behaviour and driver behaviour becomes really, really important on these types of roads because there is very little margin for error," Mr Tucker said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RACQ's 2024 Travel Speeds Report has revealed that Brisbane roads are getting slower at a concerning rate with peak hour continuing to expand. RACQ’s Head of Public Policy Dr Michael Kane told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "This is what we see every year, but what we're seeing is it's getting worse." "We can build our way through that problem in terms of motorways, but these major roads running through the urban area, we can't keep widening these." "We've got to think something completely different," Dr Kane continued.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Out of Australia’s five largest cities, Brisbane residents are paying the most for fuel. A report from the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission found Brisbane’s average retail petrol prices were the highest at 186.4 cents per litre. Economist and Affordability Specialist at the RACQ, Dr Ian Jeffreys, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "Brisbane has consistently been the most expensive out of all of the large capitals." "They've said it's down to market conditions as if market conditions are somehow and on a stone tablet somewhere. But, market conditions are the choices the fuel companies make," Dr Jeffreys said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RACQ has called for the ACCC to investigate price gouging by fuel companies. Now, they are calling for a cap on how much petrol companies can raise prices. RACQ's Principal Economic and Affordability Specialist, Dr Ian Jefferys, told Shane Doherty on 4BC Drive, "At RACQ, we've done our own research and we've got to the point where we've had enough inquiries, and we need to see some regulation." "The market is failing to deliver reasonable petrol prices to consumers, and we are calling for a 5-cent cap on the amount that fuel companies can increase their prices on any given day," Dr Jefferys said. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bruce Highway is finally getting a much overdue upgrade with the Prime Minister pledging $7.2 billion towards fixing what David Crisafulli, and many Queenslanders, call a 'goat track'. RACQ’s Head of Public Policy Dr Michael Kane told Shane Doherty on 4BC Summer Drive, "it is going to be expensive and it's going to be hard work." "We really think the Bruce will never really be fixed because we're going to keep getting population growth and economic growth." "When they get this work done, there'll be more work needed because we'll have more people, more trucks, more caravans, but it's a good start in getting rid of these two star sections, which are really unsafe and do cause high levels of fatalities," Dr Kane said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John Mackenzie chats with Margaret Shaw, Consumer Insurance Advocate, for a positive update on the progress of the $10 billion reinsurance pool for Far North Queensland's cyclone-prone regions. With some big insurers, including SURE, Suncorp, QBE, and Alliance, having already joined the pool, consumers are now waiting for the remaining giants, such as IAG and RACQ to commit. Margaret Shaw saw the news as overtly positive with positive flow-on effects, however, she vowed to fight to the very end if needed to ensure the reinsurance pool is effectively executed. A previous caller from today's show, Linda Tuck from Property Ladder Real Estate, explained how her insurance bill has already decreased by over 39% for some properties, all thanks to the newly-formed pool.

Hello, I'm Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I've been thinking. Something that is becoming increasingly important as the technology changes. Like the importation of radio equipment which doesn't meet EMC standards and items which produce RF noise which interferes with radio frequency equipment, there is another ubiquitous item that probably the majority of us will have somewhere around. As much as the big battery complexes are being installed to stabilise electricity grid supplies and smaller units are hopefully supplying cheaper than the commercial tariff power to homeowners, the smaller lithium-based batteries are everywhere from motor vehicles to power tools and single cells are readily available from online sales. There are so many benefits to using these batteries compared to the older commonly used ones we have grown up with. There is also, sadly, a downside which is that if they are allowed to overheat, particularly when they are overcharged, they combust! We have seen the graphic TV footage of battery cars burning for several hours and suburban houses gutted by fires started by the battery packs of items such as electric scooters. RACQ has issued the warnings in conjunction with the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services. QFES has reported attending 40 structural fires this year whilst in the past 3 years, the insurer has dealt with over 1200 claims for fires related to lithium-ion batteries. These are hardly things we want to see in the community. Whether it is the power tools we use, accessories such as jump starters and tyre inflators for the vehicles we drive or medical equipment such as CPAP machines or mobility scooters, there will no doubt be some or many items around your home that use some form of lithium-based battery. If we look at the gear we have for our pursuit of amateur radio, there are likely to be battery packs in test equipment and batteries for use when travelling or outdoors. Those lucky enough to be running off-grid will probably have larger batteries to power radios and household items. Now I haven't researched the standards that apply to this technology but with the history we have of allowing non-type approved gear to be imported and sold, indeed imported from the manufacturing countries direct to the consumer there would appear to be no means of checking safety compliance. I would think that the insurance industry which bears the cost of replacement of damaged goods would have a vested interest in ensuring goods which we use do meet Australian Standards. As we have seen, in previous years, the solar photovoltaic industry has demonstrated many of the issues of lack of compliance and compatibility. Is there a solution? Well in the mighty behemoth of bureaucracy, it might be a long time coming but for you and me, I think we should research the matter and ensure our use is as safe as possible. Like all things, wrong use can be dangerous but safe use requires understanding. I'm Geoff Emery VK4ZPP and that's what I think....how about you? News from the Tropics, up in Far North Queensland The first recent combined Cairns Amateur Radio Club and Tablelands Radio and Electronics Club outing was a great success. We started with a group briefing at the Atherton emergency services depot before heading out in various vehicles to our two locations. We had six members at the Lake Eacham site, only thirty metres from the water's edge. The public location meant that we had to be very careful with our antenna so erected a 40-metre end-fed half-wave wire strung up from one tree to another tree. Not ideal but it worked. Our IC-7300 fed an RM Italy linear giving 200 watts. The mike was passed between each of the hams to get their tally of QSOs up to ten for the VKFF award. Stu, VK4SDD, had arranged to have the VI10VKFF special event callsign for the day, it got lots of attention not the least caused by the mouthful!

The annual fundraiser is going strong, but we need to help them a little more so they can keep the choppers in the air!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After 30 years in banking, Michelle joined RACQ as Group Executive Banking in December 2020. I hope you enjoy this refreshing conversation with Michelle as we continue to share what it is really like to lead organisations and to navigate our careers as strong, confident female leaders
