Police 'name and shame'

Posted by: 3AW Radio | 18 July, 2011 - 10:18 AM

POLICE MEDIA: Cranbourne, Werribee, Frankston – you're on notice.

Police have today released the top 20 suburbs showing where Victoria's drink drivers, speeding motorists and mobile phone offenders live.

Topping the list of where speeding drivers reside was Cranbourne, followed by Narre Warren, Werribee and Berwick.

Werribee was the suburb where the most drivers who used their mobile phone live, followed by Deer Park, Craigieburn and Cranbourne.

When it came to drink drivers, Frankston came in first, followed by Cranbourne, Hoppers Crossing and St Albans.

Head of Road Policing, Deputy Commissioner Kieran Walshe said it was frustrating to see so many areas feature in all three lists.

"Today I have a strong message for people living in the areas we are releasing today – you’re on notice," Mr Walshe said. "Cranbourne features in the top four of each of these lists and this absolutely unacceptable."

"The wider Casey area is the number two area most at risk for road trauma and these results prove that a lot of this has to do with the attitude of drivers in this area."

"It is simply not acceptable to speed, not acceptable to use a mobile phone while driving and it is never okay to drink and drive. Yet some people living in these areas seem to think it is OK to do so ... Police have a number of large scale blitz operations planned over coming months – and listed areas should expect to be targeted."

The Victoria Police top nine at risk areas for road trauma are Brimbank, Casey, Geelong, Dandenong, Hume, Melbourne, Monash, Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Ranges.

It wasn't just metropolitan areas that featured on the top road offending lists, with Ballarat, Bendigo, Warrnambool and Shepparton all listed.
