In April 2024, 17 lives were lost on Victorian roads - three quarters of these occurring on regional roads.⁣ ⁣ As the school holidays get underway, motorists are being urged to remain alert and extra vigilant around built-up areas, particularly where children, pedestrians, and other vulnerable road users might be present.⁣ ⁣ Those travelling with passengers should ensure everyone in the vehicle is wearing a properly fastened seatbelt or child restraint, avoid distractions, and take regular breaks on long trips to manage fatigue.⁣ ⁣ Several localised operations will also be conducted in high-risk areas, culminating in a major statewide road policing blitz over the Easter and ANZAC Day period.⁣ ⁣ #roadpolicing #roadsafety #police #policeoperation #schoolholidays #easter #roadtrip #ANZACday⁣ ⁣
