Police to Continue Targeting Dangerous Driving

Police will continue to target hooning and other dangerous driving behaviour in North West Tasmania.

“We will be continuing to target those drivers who drive in an unsafe manner, putting themselves and other road users at risk” Acting Inspector Darren Woolley from Western Road and Public Order Services said.

Police will continue to actively patrol urban and rural roads and are asking for the public’s assistance if they witness dangerous driving.

“Help us keep Tasmanian roads safe, if you see a vehicle being driven dangerously, report it to police. Remember to include as much information as you can – time, date, location, registration number and any other distinguishing features that will assist police to locate the driver.”

Acting Inspector Woolley said that members of the public should also be prepared to sign a statutory declaration so that police have the best possible chance of a successful prosecution.

“You may be able to provide an important piece of evidence that assists in a police investigation and helps keep our roads safe,” he said.

Any dangerous driving should be reported to Tasmania Police on 131 444.
