| Video Discription | Senior police are today pleading with motorists to take greater responsibility on NSW roads as the Easter long weekend road toll ended with four people dead, 189 injured and families torn apart. Operation Tortoise commenced at 00:01hrs on Thursday 2 April and concluded at 11:59hrs last night. Commander of Specialist Operations, Deputy Commissioner Catherine Burn said police are extremely disappointed that motorists were just not listening, and at worst, not thinking. "We got the message out there, but we're disappointed the message didn't get through," Deputy Commissioner Burn said. "Police were out there all weekend, night and day, we're doing our best to keep motorists safe but it seems there are some who just don't care. Don't care about themselves or anybody else. "This attitude to driving has to change. "Right now there are four people dead, including two young children, and families are left wondering why. "One of the reasons is lack of attention. Not paying attention to the conditions. Not paying attention to their surroundings. And just not paying attention. "While the Easter long weekend has ended, the school holidays have just begun, and there will be thousands of families taking a break. "We are asking that all motorists change their attitude to driving, pay attention so they get to and from their destinations safely,” Deputy Commissioner Burn said. Four people died on NSW roads this Easter long weekend compared to two people last year, with 189 people being injured down 17 on last year (206 injured). So far this year we have had 87 people die on NSW roads compared to 91 last year. 243,888 breath tests were conducted resulting in 298 drink driving charges, and 4801 infringements notices were issued for speeding. 1300 Random Drug Tests performed that resulted in 222 positive tests. Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander, Assistant Commissioner John Hartley said while some of the traffic offence figures were down the motoring public needed to show greater concentration. "I drove up to the north coast on the weekend to get a first-hand appreciation of what was happening on the roads,” Assistant Commissioner Hartley said "It is apparent some of the behaviour and attitude of motorists has to change. We have to call it for what it is – it's killing people. "The number of detections for speeding, drink and drug driving is one thing, so are the fines which go with the infringement notices, but it's the human cost, those who die on the roads, those who are injured, and the ones who are left behind to try and make sense of it all. "And today that's the question we are asking: why speed when it's raining, why let yourself become distracted, why get into a car when you have been drinking and drive, and why when you're tired – would you keep driving. If they could, that's the question those who have been killed or injured would like to ask. "It appears the answer is impatience and complacency. "Last week we asked all motorists, cyclists and pedestrians – all road users to share the message, share the responsibility, share to survive." "Last week the parents of a young man who died in a collision a little over 12 months ago, pleaded with everyone to not let the worst decision in your life be your last. "Today I'm asking everyone who uses the roads, those on holidays, those going to and from work, pedestrians alike, to think about what they're doing, if not for their own sake but for the sake of their family and friends," Assistant Commissioner Hartley said. |
