As drivers in Canterbury prepare for the long weekend, Road Policing staff across the District will be undertaking Operation Drive Safe.?
?
The aim of Operation Drive Safe, which will run on 28-29 March, is to reinforce positive driving behaviour, with a view to reducing fatal and serious injury crashes. ?
?
“The week prior to a holiday weekend is an opportunity for Police to reinforce safe driving messages before drivers undertake long distance trips, says Senior Constable Brent Cosgrove.?
?
"We want to remind all drivers planning to get away for the weekend to share the driving, take regular breaks and drive alert.”
?
In the days leading up to Easter, drivers can expect to be stopped at checkpoints where Police staff will share road safety messages and promotional material on safer driving.?
