Police in Capricornia issued more than 600 infringement notices over the Easter weekend, nearly 400 of which were for speeding.
Senior Sergeant Ewan Findlater of Rockhampton’s Road Policing Unit said police also did about 4,500 random breath tests, resulting in 32 drink drivers and 59 drug drivers charged.
“We had increased traffic flow with Easter and Rockynats in town,” he said.
“That was also assisted by the fact that we had additional police resources available.
“Generally most people were really good. From those stats though there still are a few people who are prepared to push the limits, and we will continue to target those persons that don’t want to obey the road rules.”
