🔘 DOUBLE DEMERITS FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT
- STATEWIDE

- Posted: 7:56pm, Thursday 4 June

Police officers will be deployed across the state to target speeding and dangerous driving as part of a major traffic operation during the June long weekend.

As part of the King’s Birthday road safety campaign, Traffic and Highway Patrol Command officers are reinforcing the need to slow down when behind the wheel by demonstrating the faster a car travels, the less reaction time a driver has and the longer it takes for the vehicle to stop.

NSW Police will have a high-visibility presence across the state for Operation King’s Birthday 2026, which will be conducted from 12.01am Friday 5 June 2026 to 11.59pm Monday 8 June 2026.

The police operation involves officers from Traffic and Highway Patrol Command with the assistance of general duties and specialist police from all commands and districts in NSW.

Police will target excessive speed, alcohol and drug driving, distraction including mobile phone use, fatigue and restraint and helmet offences.

Double demerits will be in place for speeding, mobile phone use, seatbelt and helmet offences during the King’s Birthday long weekend.

If you’re travelling this weekend, give yourself time, drive to the conditions, and don’t take risks.

Members of the public are urged to report motorists engaged in dangerous driving to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
