Tasmania Police's Easter road safety blitz, Operation Safe Arrival, begins today, running statewide throughout the Easter holiday period.
Assistant Commissioner Adrian Bodnar said dangerous driving behaviours remain the top priority for enforcement.
"Tasmania Police will be actively looking out for everyone on our roads this Easter, and we're calling on motorists to behave egg-cellently," he said.
"Easter in Tasmania means colder and wetter weather is on the horizon, more people are travelling on our roads, and extra caution is essential to prevent crashes."
"As a driver, reduced visibility and slippery roads demand slower speeds and an increased awareness of what's going on around you."
Operation Safe Arrival will feature both high-visibility and covert patrols across Tasmania's highways, main roads, rural routes, and back streets.
"Sometimes you'll see us - and sometimes you won't, as we use both overt and covert measures," said Assistant Commissioner Bodnar.
"My message today isn't a new one; keeping Tasmanian roads safe is a mission for the whole community."
"Play your part by adapting your driving to match changing weather conditions, obey the road rules and report dangerous driving when you see it."
"Anyone who witnesses dangerous driving behaviour should report it immediately to police on 131 444 to enable officers to respond in a timely way."
"If it's an emergency or life-threatening situation call Triple Zero (000)."
"If you can't report it at the time but have footage, submit it to the police evidence portal online."
