Police say they are disappointed by the behaviour of Canberra drivers after people were caught street racing, speeding, drink and drug driving during National Road Safety Week in the ACT.

More than 90 speeding fines were issued and 16 people were charged with drink driving during the week, May 11-18.

On the first day, police conducting speed enforcement on William Hovell Drive in Whitlam detected a 43-year-old suspended driver travelling at 110 km/h in a 90 km/h zone.

The driver – who had his nine-year-old child in the car – tested positive to the presence of drugs and alcohol.

On day two at about 9.30pm police booked two 17-year-old boys street racing cars along Gungahlin Drive in Mitchell. Both boys were issued with an infringement notice and incurred three demerit points.

Three drivers were caught drug driving on May 14 in Symonston, Weston and Red Hill. All three will be charged with drug driving at a later date.

Five people were caught drink driving on Saturday night (May 17) in Gungahlin, including one woman who was caught twice.

A/Supt Mark Steel said police wanted drivers to take responsibility for their actions on our roads.

“We want to see zero deaths on ACT roads and we need the community’s support to achieve that,” he said.
