“We all want to enjoy this festive season and by being a responsible road user, you are helping others to reach their destination safely and reduce road trauma.”
More than 25,000 random breath tests were conducted across the state on day one of the operation.
Already 45 charges have been issued for drink-driving, 730 traffic infringement notices for speeding offences, 80 for mobile phone offences and 39 traffic infringement notices for seatbelt and restraint offences.
