Two drivers have been caught in separate morning RBT operations this week.
A 60-year-old male driver was booked with a breath analysis of 0.096 during a random breath and drug testing operation on Canberra Avenue, Symonston, at 6.30am on Monday.
On Wednesday morning at 8.45 a 48 year-old female driver returned a breath analysis reading of 0.117 – more than double the legal limit for a full licence holder when she was caught by random testing on Norse Road, Beard.
Both drivers were immediately suspended from driving in the ACT for 90 days and will face court.
A/Insp Jonathon Turkich said: “Police are often questioned as to why they undertake operations during morning hours.
“These arrests and many like them, highlight the importance of police undertaking these operations anywhere, anytime, because people are driving impaired at those times.”

![For graphic designer Tracy Hall, street art is like any artwork, her canvas has been swapped out for fences and plywood, her medium changing from watercolours to spray paint.
A Canberra resident for 13 years, Tracy has been a street and mural artist for the past five.
Her first exploration into grand-scale painting was at the Point Hut toilets in Banks five years ago. “They had just finished doing up the playground area for all the little kids and the words [of graffiti] that were coming up weren’t family friendly,” she says.
“So I ended up drawing this design and I got approval for the artwork.”
Many of Tracy’s time-consuming artworks are free, with thousands of her own dollars put into paint.
