Over the weekend the Territory Road Policing Division seized several vehicles for hooning in Darwin.
On Saturday two motorcycles were sighted by police allegedly racing on the Stuart Highway from the Lambrick Avenue traffic lights to Coolalinga. The motorcycles were travelling 31-45km over the speed limit and were apprehended in Coolalinga where both motorcycles were seized and impounded.
On Sunday a Holden Commodore utility was allegedly conducting burnouts on Forrest Parade and surrounding streets in Palmerston. The driver was issued with a Traffic Infringement Notice for multiple offences and the vehicle was seized and impounded.
Acting Superintendent Devrim Kanyilmaz said, "The Territory Road Policing Division will continue to focus all efforts on keeping our roads safe. Hooning and dangerous driving will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
"Although no one was injured during these incidents, it is behaviours like these can lead to serious injury or even death.
"Remember stay alive and avoid the Fatal Five - speeding, drink driving, failing to wear seatbelts and driving tired or distracted."
