Acting Sergeant Brett Mooney, from Chifley Highway Patrol, said it was frustrating for police to pull over so many drivers flouting the rules.

Sergeant Mooney said over the Anzac Day long weekend there was no excuse for people to be doing the wrong thing.

He said NSW Police had a high profile road safety campaign, operation Go Slow, underway since 12.01am Friday, which included high profile policing, media saturation, and double demerit points for speeding and seat belt offences in place.

“There is absolutely no excuse at all [for doing the wrong thing].

“Every highway patrol car was out and about, every police officer was rostered on over the period.

“We did over 1500 random breath tests and had four drivers return positive results.”

But for Sergeant Mooney, even this number was too high.

“One PCA is one too many,” he said.

With the city hosting the Soldier’s Saddle Tuesday afternoon, Sergeant Mooney said police would continue their high profile operation both in the town and on the highways.

The change in weather on Tuesday was also a concern for police, who urged drivers to slow down in the wet and most importantly drive to conditions.

“You don’t know what’s around the corner or what’s going to happen, so reduce your speed and be aware of the road conditions,” he said.

Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy of the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, said operation Go Slow aimed to avoid any further tragic loss of life on NSW roads.

“We booked more than 7500 people during double demerits over the Easter long-weekend. This indicates that many people simply don’t care about putting their own and other’s lives at risk.

“One hundred people have already died on our roads this year, while we can’t take back those lives that have been lost, we can prevent more deaths on our roads.”

For this reason alone Assistant Commissioner Corboy said drivers would see more police on our roads.

Operation Go Slow winds up at 11.59pm Tuesday.
