An article in the Geelong Advertiser has highlighted that police are calling for vigilance after a spate of roadside drug and alcohol testing positive results.
The article quotes Geelong Highway Patrol Senior Sergeant Craig Stevens, who said that police were conducting more random breath tests and drug tests than ever before. He added that five drug-affected drivers and five alcohol-affected drivers were nabbed last weekend during a crackdown in partnership with Operation Summer Safe. In addition, police also caught 47 drug-affected drivers and 15 drink-drivers from drug and alcohol testing in the Geelong area during a 20-day crackdown on road safety that ended last Wednesday.
“We are testing more people on the roads than ever before and we want to remind drivers that they can be tested anywhere at any time,” Highway Patrol Senior Sergeant Craig Stevens is quoted as saying in the article.
