The Western Australia police provided a timely reminder to both Navy, civilian and contractor personnel at Garden Island over the Easter break.

Police conducted an RBT, licence and car registration check, along with speed cameras operating.

During the blitz, some 420 drivers were breath tested, with none charged with Driving Under the Influence.

Two unlicensed drivers and two unregistered vehicles were detected and are being dealt with.

Commanding Officer of HMAS Stirling CMDR Paul Bartlett was pleased with the results of the blitz.

“It is a good time to remind our people that they are not immune to the state road laws on Garden Island, and that they drive in a safe manner at all times,” he said.
