68 Speeders Nabbed in Holiday Weekend Crackdown

Police detected 68 speeding drivers during a targeted road safety operation in the North across the Anzac Day long weekend.

During the three-day operation, officers from Northern Road Policing Services utilised Highway Patrol vehicles across the Northern District, with a focus on dangerous driving behaviour.

Of the 68 drivers detected speeding, 50 were caught travelling between 15 to 29km/h above the speed limit.

Inspector Nick Clark said police would continue to conduct both high-visibility and covert road safety operations.

"We remain committed to road safety and want everyone to get home safely," he said.

"These operations will continue throughout the year, so we are urging all road users to do the right thing and obey the speed limits and avoid being stopped by one of our Highway Patrol vehicles."

If you witness dangerous driving, report to police on 131 444 or Triple Zero (000) in an emergency.
