25.01.2022 With Stage 4 restrictions in place in metropolitan Melbourne, cyclists are more likely to be riding in local streets within their 5km radius. This can mean the potential for a collision with vehicles reversing from driveways and the risk of serious injury is higher. As we stay closer to home to exercise, all road users including drivers and cyclists need to be aware of their surroundings in these shared spaces. Let’s keep working together to stay safe.

22.01.2022 HIGHWAY PATROL REPORT HAZARD ALERT; HEADLIGHTS, DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND FOGLIGHTS; Do you know the difference?... Often whilst out on patrol at night, we find people who are driving without their vehicle headlights on as required. In many cases, due to the brightness of daytime running lights (DRL’s), people have mistakenly thought their headlights were on. DRL’s are a bright light that is activated during normal daytime operation and assists to make your vehicle more visible to others. At night, the DRL’s will turn off or dim when the headlights are activated. DRL’s alone do not provide sufficient illumination to drive with at night. Many new cars now have an ‘auto headlight’ system whereby your headlights will automatically turn on and off with the ignition. You should ensure that your vehicle has the correct settings before driving and check that your headlights are activated. Driving without headlights on at night is a significant safety risk. The penalty for driving at night without headlights is $248 and incurs one demerit point. Fog lights are only to be operated when it is foggy or during other hazardous weather conditions causing reduced visibility. The penalty for driving with fog lights on when not required is $165. Although some examples are depicted below, the positions of DRL's and foglights on modern vehicles can vary. If you are uncertain about the correct operation of your lights, please consult your vehicle owner manual. For further information: https://bddy.me/3pgUOIZ #victoriapolice #highwaypatrol

04.01.2022 As the weather starts to warm up, we know this is a time when many people would normally like to be out and about but it is important that if you choose to leave your home you continue to adhere to the directions of the Chief Health Officer. For those in Metropolitan Melbourne this includes following the directions around public gatherings which are strictly limited to a maximum of five people from up to two households. Breaching this restriction will result in a $4956 infri...ngement notice. People must also continue to wear a mask and not travel further than 5km from home. While the majority of Victorians continue to do the right thing there unfortunately remain those who deliberately breach restrictions and place lives at risk. A number of fines were issued to people who breached directions at St Kilda beach yesterday (Friday 2 October) and Victoria Police will be out in force at beaches and popular public spaces this weekend. We will not hesitate to fine those who clearly and blatantly breach the Chief Health Officer directions.

02.01.2022 Victoria Police continues to play an important role in keeping people safe during the coronavirus pandemic. We do not want regional communities to be put at risk by those who deliberately breach the Chief Health Officer directions and travel there. Victoria Police will be strengthening its enforcement activities, both at our vehicle checkpoints and in regional and rural areas in order to help prevent the spread of coronavirus. We will be increasing the number of vehicles chec...ked; every vehicle towing a caravan or boat, every car carrying a fishing rod or swag will be checked. There will be significant delays at these vehicle checkpoints, and we know this will be frustrating for those who are travelling for one of the permitted reasons. However, these checks are an important and necessary step to prevent the spread of coronavirus to regional Victoria. Anyone found to be blatantly and deliberately breaching the Chief Health Officer directions and travelling from metro Melbourne to regional Victoria without a lawful reason will be issued with a $4957 fine.
