Northland Police will be out in force in coming weeks in a bid to reduce speed on local roads.
Throughout the next six weeks Police will increase focus on speeding drivers in the North, enforcing the ¡®anywhere, anytime¡¯ motto.
Northland Road Policing Manager, Inspector Anne-Marie Fitchett, says road users can expect to see more officers out and about in a bid to deter motorists from any risky behaviours.
¡°Speed is a major contributor to crashes and the damage on impact if there is a crash.
¡°Our teams are committed to ensuring our roads are safe, and we need everyone to do their part.¡±
Inspector Fitchett says Police will be actively patrolling areas where there is a higher risk to road users.
¡°We want our presence to deter motorists from any driving behaviours that put themselves and others at risk.
"Everyone deserves to be safe when travelling on Northland roads.
¡°When it comes down to it, we choose our behaviour behind the wheel and those who make poor choices, will find there are consequences.¡±
If you encounter or witness any dangerous driving incidents, contact Police via 111 or *555 so we can locate and hold the drivers accountable.
