Starting tomorrow, it`s three-day Queen`s birthday short holiday! Attention, everyone in scattered play at the same time, must pay attention to safety ah, especially traffic safety!
The long weekend of June is one of the most dangerous moments on the South Australian Highway!
According to statistics, over the past five years, traffic accidents during the long weekend in June have resulted in 10 deaths and 43 serious injuries.
Every year since 2004, people have died in car accidents during this period! And in these traffic accidents, the main trigger is fatigue driving! Especially on country roads!
So far this year, there have been 31 deaths on rural roads!
Don`t think you can`t get out of town and drive around the city. Data show that traffic accidents in the city over the past five years caused three deaths and eight serious injuries during the long weekend in June.
As in previous years, the transport department from today to launch the annual, for a period of four days of the "big catch" operation!
Friday! Saturday! Sunday! And Monday! Double the fine! Double the points!
South Australian police held a press conference yesterday to announce the "safety long weekend operation" (Operation Safe Long Weekend)
It will begin at 3 p. M. This Friday and end at midnight next Monday.
The transportation department will work together with other relevant departments to investigate: drunken driving, speeding, running a red light, not fastening seat belts, driving mobile phones, fatigue driving, no placement of child seats and so on.
The police have installed surveillance cameras, drunk driving stations, drug testing stations, overspeed test zones and so on the main roads.
And remind McLaren Vale to attend the Sea and Vines Festival activity friends, this weekend, the police patrol will also set up a point in the McLaren Vale strict investigation!
The South Australian Police warn us that the time saved for speeding is actually very limited, but it has doubled the risk of car accidents! Don`t be greedy for a moment`s speed, hurt yourself! You might have hurt someone else, too.
If you plan to travel long distance, please don`t be tired of driving, pay attention to the proper rest, do not drive too fast, be patient. After all, the country path is no more than the downtown road, may be pothole, or meet some animal.
At the same time, driving friends must pay attention to pedestrians! Next, take stock of the illegal acts that the police usually focus on checking, and these acts must be paid more attention in the next short holiday to avoid being punished badly!
Offence 1: no seat belts
In the course of driving, if the seat belt is not fastened, the following penalties will be imposed
Illegal act 2: playing with mobile phone while driving
It is illegal to use a phone or play with a mobile phone while driving. Penalty: three points deducted and a fine of $327!
Illegal act III: drunk driving
There are many other violations, see http://www.mylicence.sa.gov.au/road-rules/offences-and-penalties#summaryofoffences
And, these deductions and fines will double in short holiday!
Of course, in Australia, where the traffic rules are very complicated, it is not easy to drive a car steadily, such as how to make people, how to make a car, how to walk on multiple turntables. It really makes people dizzy.
So, before the trip or do a good job, immediately to start a long weekend, everyone well prepared, or that sentence, safety first!
