Welcome to the first edition of the Booze Bus Weekly Round Up.
Between Monday the 31st of August to Sunday the 6th of September, our team were deployed around Melbourne, Geelong and regional Victoria.
During this period, Booze Bus operators detected a total of 18 drink driving offences, with multiple offenders detected in the Casey, Melton and Whitehorse areas.
Two notable readings of 0.141 and 0.139 resulted in drivers being banned on the spot from driving on our roads, with both to receive a summons to speak with a Magistrate in the near future.
Other drink driving offenders received either a Penalty Infringement Notice where eligible, or those with prior offences will be appearing before a Magistrate.
A further three drivers were detected for drug driving offences, with each driver returning positive oral fluid samples.
The team at Booze Bus can be anywhere at anytime, but we are also supported by local units such as Highway Patrol and Divisional Vans who also do great work in detecting drug and alcohol impaired drivers.
As the weather gets warmer, rest assured that drug and alcohol testing remains a priority to reduce road trauma and keep road users safe.
