POLICE BUSY DURING ROAD TRIP

South west motorists were among hundreds of motorists who ran foul of the law during Operation Constellate last weekend.

Operation Constellate was held in line with the AFL’s Gather Round, with thousands on the road between Melbourne and Adelaide.

Police were disappointed they were kept so busy across the operation, with 750 road offences recorded across the five-day operation.

There included 444 speeding offences, 26 drug and 13 drink driving offences, and 14 mobile phone offences.

It was not only driver behaviour that was poor, with the cars being driven falling below the required standard in many cases.

Police issued 66 fines for unregistered vehicles.
