This is the best summary I could come up with:

Authorities say more motorcycles on the road and less experienced riders may be contributing to a surge in fatal motorbike crashes in Queensland.

Police Superintendent Douglas McDonald, who oversees the Southern Queensland district, said motorcylists were some of the most vulnerable road users.

As Queensland Road Safety Week begins, police said their constant reminders to "slow down" and stay attentive remained unchanged.

Toowoomba-based motorcycle instructor Tony Gallagher said there was a lot more traffic on the road now than a couple of years ago during lockdowns.

"If you see someone on a side street, set your brakes and slow down, you might lose 5 kilometres an hour, but you're not going to be late for work."

But for all the talk of dangers on the road for riders, Mr Gallagher said he couldn't imagine a life without a motorbike.
