The Queensland government's 'mates motel' isn't getting through to everyone, with one driver allegedly caught driving seven times over the legal limit.

Police recorded the Tanah Mereh stop as the highest of its 10,549 breath tests conducted across the state in the 24 hours to midnight on December 25.

But speeding continues to be the number one issue on Queensland roads, with 1772 camera detections recorded, with a further 262 people pulled over by police officers. The highest speed was 155 kilometres in a Redland Bay 80 zone.

Thirteen drivers couldn't resist taking that phone call or sending that text while behind the wheel, while 34 forgot to put on their seat belts.

The government has spent the last few weeks pushing its 'mates motel' message, which encourages those drinking during the holiday festivities to pull up a couch, or bathtub, at their friend's place rather than risk the drive home.

Police have announced their intention to, as always, concentrate on "high risk road user behaviour", which includes the omnipresent 'fatal five' – speeding, fatigue, impaired driving, not wearing a seat belt and inattention.

So far, Queensland roads have been free of fatal crashes this holiday period, although a 33-year-old Nerang man remains in a serious condition at the Gold Coast University Hospital after a single vehicle crash in Elanora over night.

The police Christmas road safety campaign will continue until midnight on January 3.
