Double demerits on Anzac weekend

MOTORISTS have been warned that double demerits will apply for speeding and seatbelt offences, with an extra point for all other traffic offences over the Anzac Day period

From Wednesday, April 24 until midnight April 28, police say they will target reckless and dangerous driving behaviour.

“ACT Policing is asking the Canberra community to enjoy Anzac Day, but remember to keep our roads safe by not drinking and driving and staying within the speed limit at all times,” says Superintendent Kylie Flower.

“Make sure you fasten your seatbelt and remember it is your responsibility to ensure that all occupants of your vehicle are wearing their seatbelts too.”

The ACT road toll for 2013 currently sits at four.
