Police allegedly caught drivers speeding, drug driving or driving without a licence in three separate incidents on the weekend.
An ACT Policing spokesperson said officers were conducting a mobile speed detection operation on Commonwealth Avenue on Friday night (21 February) when they saw a group of motorcyclists travelling towards Capital Circle.
One was allegedly speeding at 127 km/h in an 80 km/h zone.
The 28-year-old Calwell man was stopped and then was issued with an immediate suspension notice and a $1841 infringement.
Next, at about 11:15 pm on Saturday (22 February), officers were patrolling Richardson when they stopped a blue Suzuki Swift.
The 60-year-old driver, who was already on bail conditions not to drive, was allegedly found to be unlicenced, was driving an unregistered vehicle and returned a positive result to a roadside drug test.
He was charged with being an unlicenced driver, using an unregistered vehicle and drug driving.
In the third incident, at about 12:20 am on Monday (24 February), the driver of a white Toyota Hilux with no registration plates was pulled over in Richardson.
“The 28-year-old driver could not produce a licence and checks revealed the vehicle had been unregistered since 2019,” the police spokesperson said.
He was expected to face the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday charged with driving while disqualified, using an unregistered vehicle, not displaying provisional plates and not having registration plates attached to the vehicle.
