‘Highly Visible’: Double-Demerit Warning
- NSW Police launched a major operation with double demerit points from 12:01am June 6 to 11:59pm June 9 across the state during the King’s Birthday long weekend.
- The operation responded to a surge in road fatalities, including 157 deaths this year in NSW and 37 in May in Victoria, with road trauma considered extremely concerning by authorities.
- Double demerits applied for speeding, illegal mobile phone use, seatbelt offences, and motorcycle helmet violations aim to deter risky driving during this busy travel period.
- Assistant Commissioner David Driver urged riders to make good decisions and wear proper gear after four motorbike fatalities last weekend, stating “one bad decision could cost a life.”
- The crackdown and public warnings aim to reduce avoidable crashes and fatalities, emphasizing that long weekends should be for rest and not tragedy, urging all road users to be vigilant and responsible.
