As stated by Constable Chris Wakelin, Ohai Police:
Police have been carrying out prevention patrols and check points to identify and stop drivers risking the lives of themselves and others.
We focused on drivers using cell phones while driving, driving while intoxicated, speeding, and not wearing seatbelts.
It's with extreme disappointment we advise that since 1 July, 79 infringements have been issued for these offences around Winton, Riverton, Otautau, Tuatapere, and Ohai/Nightcaps.
