“I think overall the motoring public, given the inclement weather and the increased people on the road their driving behaviour has been pretty good across the board,” he said, but added the 143 speeding fines was “unfortunate”.
“We will be actively enforcing the road rules over the every day of the year but this time we were certainly out there in greater numbers.
“That’s resulted in 143 people getting caught.
“None of those were over the high-speed range (40kmh over the speed limit), that’s a positive but every k over is a killer.”
Police will continue their traffic campaign over the school holidays until April 18.
