AS a result of 30 road deaths this year, compared to 23 at the same time last year, police saturated roads across the state last week, in a crackdown targeting lead foots- a comprehensive operation to coincide with National Road Safety Week.

From Sunday May 11 – 18, police used handheld speed measurement guns as well as automatic radar technology to target and detect speeding motorists.

Each year 1200 people are killed and another 40,000 seriously injured on Australia’s roads.
