Tasmania Police is continuing to conduct a high-visibility road safety operation across the Northern District today, targeting the key driving behaviours that contribute to serious and fatal crashes.
As of 4pm, key enforcement outcomes include:
• 61 speeding offences
• Three mobile phone offences
• 747 random breath tests, with no drink drivers detected
• Four drug drivers caught
• Two seatbelt offences
• 19 vehicles found with defects
• Two unlicensed drivers caught
• Nine other offences
Inspector Nick Clark said the operation was a proactive effort to influence driver behaviour and reinforce the importance of road safety.
"These results show that while many drivers are doing the right thing, there's still work to be done," Inspector Clark said.
"Every offence detected represents a potential risk to people in our community."
"Police will continue to maintain a strong presence on our roads to keep Tasmanians safe."
"We thank the public for their cooperation, and urge all motorists to remain vigilant, drive responsibly, and ensure their vehicles are roadworthy."
