NSW: Police promise high-profile Xmas road campaign
Police will target country roads across New South Wales in this year's Christmas road
safety campaign, which began at midnight.
During last year's Christmas-New Year crackdown, 15 of the 16 fatalities on New South
Wales roads occurred in country areas.
New South Wales Police Minister JOHN WATKINS says Operation Safe Arrival will concentrate
on speeding and drink-driving offences as well as people not wearing seatbelts.
He says all New South Wales highway patrol cars will be out on the highways 24 hours
a day and he urges people to drive to road conditions.
Double demerit points for speeding and seatbelt offences will apply from December the
24th to January the 4th, then from January the 23rd to January the 26th.
