Driver blitz alert

MOTORISTS are being urged to drive safe with police conducting a high visibility road safety operation – with double demerits also in place.

Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander, Acting Assistant Commissioner Trent King says police will be doing everything in their power to work with the community to keep our roads safe, but they also wanted to remind motorists that everyone has a role to play.
“Inside each and every vehicle you pass on the road, is a loved one – a mate, a mother, a father, a child or a sibling – and we can all take steps to keep them out of harm’s way,” Acting Assistant Commissioner King said.
Double demerit points will apply for the duration of the operation for speeding, mobile phone, seatbelt and motorcycle helmet offences. The operation will finish at midnight on Sunday.
