Ten drivers have been detected breaking the rules on Wyndham’s roads in a four-day police operation.
Across Victoria, almost 200 motorists were detected drink and drug driving on Victoria’s roads in a safety blitz over the AFL Grand Final long weekend.
Operation Scoreboard saw Victoria Police issue fines and warnings for a total 2054 offences between Thursday and Sunday.
In Wyndham, police detected five drink drivers, one other drink/drug offence, one unlicensed driver, one speeding offence, one driver using a mobile phone and one unregistered vehicle.
Assistant Commissioner for road policing, Glenn Weir, said: “We thank the majority of Victorians who adhered to the restrictions over the AFL Grand Final weekend and enjoyed celebrations at home.
“It is extremely disappointing that we continue to catch people undertaking high-risk behaviour on our roads, with more than 2000 offences detected over the weekend – this is totally unacceptable.”
Assistant Commissioner Weir said that as COVID-19 restrictions ease over the coming weeks, police will continue to be highly visible on Victorian roads.
“We won’t hesitate to remove dangerous drivers and hold motorists to account,” he said.
“Whether it’s speed, distraction, disobeying road rules, not wearing a seatbelt, fatigue or impairment from alcohol or drugs at play, road trauma can be avoided.”
