Police in New South Wales have conducted several high visibility
operations in recent years aimed at reducing the road toll by
targeting dangerous driving behaviour.
Operation RAID, or Remove All Impaired
Drivers, is the latest of these operations.
It is being conducted from 12:01 a.m. this morning until 4 a.m.
Sunday, 8 September 2024, with the stated aim of reducing road
accidents by targeting drink driving, drug driving, and being fatigue behind the
wheel – conduct which police describe as "three major
contributors to the state's annual road toll".
What does Operation Raid involve?
The operation will be signified by increased roadside breath and
drug testing, along with measures to identify those driving while
fatigued, those who fail to wear seatbelts and unlicensed drivers,
including those who have been suspended or disqualified.
