A driver lost 28 demerit points in one go this Easter long weekend.
The 24-year-old woman was pulled over in a Holden Captiva just after 5pm on the Pacific Highway for using her phone while driving.Police noticed the children were in their seats however two of the children’s seat straps were not tightened correctly and none of the seats were anchored appropriately.
“These carried a combined penalty of $1348 and due to double demerit points the driver accrued 28 demerit points. Children at risk notifications have been made to Family and Community Services.”Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy said: “Even though there have been declines in the number of people detected drink driving and travelling above the speed limit, we are still hearing of examples such as the one from Ourimbah.
“When you combine that with the fact 6000 people were detected travelling above the speed limit – those thoughts should be incentive enough to turn anyone off acting like an idiot on our roads.”
