Northern Territory Police are again reminding motorists to drive more responsibly on our roads.
On Friday and Saturday night, Police issued 47 separate infringement notices for traffic-related offences in the Darwin rural area.
Officer In Charge of Darwin Traffic Operations, Senior Sergeant John Ginnane said, “The vast majority of these offenders were driving at dusk and at night on and around Fog Bay Road in the rural area. Some were speeding, some were drunk and exceedingly so. Some were unrestrained as were their passengers, including children, and some were combinations of all those behaviours which inevitably lead to death and disfigurement.
