DRIVERS must take more care on roads after six were caught speeding in the district over the holiday season by Bridgewater policeman Mick Balazs.
“I have processed six drivers in excess of 125kmh. two of them 140-plus and one at 130kmh who was more than twice the legal alcohol limit,” he said.
Senior Constable Balazs said the 38-year-old Melbourne man travelling at 130kmh had a blood alcohol reading of 0.12 and would also face an unregistered vehicle charge,
“We had three die on Victorian roads on Sunday on the back of a horrific road toll in 2023,” he said.
“This is a timely reminder to drivers from police to take care during the holiday periods.”
