More than 160 offences have been detected during a major police operation in the state’s west including Geelong.
Operation West Connect has been focussing on speeding, distraction and impaired driving over the last six month.
Almost 30 offences were picked up Geelong’s roads including drink and drug driving, speeding and disqualified driving.
Four people have died on the roads across Greater Geelong already this year.
Inspector Justine Ryan said police know first hand the ripple effect had across communities.
“Operation West Connect is just one road policing initiative we’ve implemented to help keep all road users safe on roads out in the state’s west,” she said.
“Our highway patrol members are always actively on the look out for motorists who flout the rules and make dangerous choices that put all road users lives at risk.
“Speeding continues to be a major contributing factor to serious injury and fatal collisions on regional roads, and yet we continue to catch so many people going over the speed limit.”
