Police are reminding road-users that although Australia Day has finished, Operation Safe Return and double-demerits will continue until Sunday.
On Australia Day (Thursday 26 January 2017) - Day Two of Operation Safe Return – there were no fatal crashes recorded throughout the day; however, drivers continue to make poor decisions on our roads.
The death toll this year stands at 22 lives lost in 26 days on NSW roads.
Acting Commander of the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy, said that the road toll is sure to increase if people don’t slow down and drive sensibly.
“Australia Day has finished, but Operation Safe Return has not. Police will be out in increased numbers until the end of the weekend enforcing speed, mobile phone, seatbelts, and other behaviours that are costing lives on our roads.
