Acting Assistant Commissioner Stuart Smith of the state's Traffic and Highway Patrol Command says those using our roads clearly need to do more to ensure not only their own safety, but that of other road users.
In the last financial year, police have issued infringements for:
- 223,261 for speeding, of which 2,889 were for speeds over 45kph over the signposted limit. These figures are an increase of 13,294 for all speeding events, and 215 for over 45kph speeds detected.
- 15,849 for unrestrained passengers, an increase of 329.
- 6,925 for 'not keep left' offences.
