Police promised to crackdown on dangerous driving with huge penalties over the Christmas period and one driver has felt the full force.
The driver was spotted using her mobile phone while going through a roundabout on Friday, with three children among passengers not wearing seatbelts.
Police said the woman was just one of dozens of drivers stopped during the heightened road safety operation so far in the Christmas and New Year’s Eve period. “If these drivers have a record sufficiently serious that the court has disqualified them from driving – some for extended periods of time – then these drivers should show responsibility, respect the court decision and abide by their ruling,” highway patrol assistant commissioner Michael Corboy said.The double demerits will apply until January 1 for speeding, seatbelt, mobile phone and motorcycle helmet infringements.
