Dob in dangerous driver

MOTORISTS are being called on to dob in drunk, drug-affected, dangerous and distracted drivers as part of a new safety campaign.

Traffic and Highway Patrol Command and Crime Stoppers were joined by Minister for Police and Emergency Services, David Elliott, and Minister for Transport and Roads, Andrew Constance, to launch the Four Ds (drink, drug, dangerous and distracted driving) campaign.
The campaign is focused on enlisting the community’s help to crack down on the Four Ds to prevent crashes and keep loved ones safe.
Assistant Police Commissioner Karen Webb says if you see or know anyone who is drink, drug, dangerous or distracted driving, please report it to Crime Stoppers and it will be investigated.
“Our message to motorists breaking the law is clear: someone is watching you now and you will get caught,” she said.
Some ways road users can report the Four Ds without jeopardising their own safety or breaking the law include:
• Use a passenger to record the time of the incident and the registration of the driver’s vehicle.
• If possible, keep dashcam vision of the incident and provide it to Crime Stoppers or police.
• If it’s an emergency – where there is a threat to life or someone’s safety – please call Triple Zero (000) through a passenger, hands-free, or pull over somewhere safe.
• If it’s not an emergency, contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
