More than 2,900 speeding offences were detected during the AFL Grand Final long weekend, and we’re warning drivers not to make the same mistake this Melbourne Cup break.

Operation Furlong kicks off on Friday, with officers out in force across Victoria targeting speeding and other high-risk behaviours.

Last year, almost 3,000 drivers were caught speeding during the operation, with most travelling 10km/h to 25km/h over the limit.

If you’re heading away this weekend, slow down, allow extra travel time and remember: getting there safely is more important than getting there fast.

At around midnight on Saturday the 24th of October, Charlton Police intercepted a 20 year old male in Donald, with a P2 probationary licence. He returned a positive Evidentiary Breath Test reading of 0.037. He was issued a fine of $523 and will be disqualified from driving for 3 months.

At about 10pm on Sunday the 25th of October, Donald Police intercepted a 48 year old male in Woods Street Donald. He returned a positive Evidentiary Breath Test reading of 0.157. His licence was immediately suspended, and he will be summonsed to Court.

Drink driving is one of the biggest killers on Victoria's roads. Driving under the influence of alcohol affects perception, vision, concentration, reaction time and causes drowsiness - all of which increase the chance of having a crash.

Thinking about buying an electric fat bike?

Fat bikes are easy to spot thanks to their extra-wide tyres, but don't assume every electric fat bike is a legal e-bike.

Some models are capable of speeds and power levels that place them in the motorcycle category.

If that's the case, riders need:

✅ Registration
✅ A motorcycle licence or learner permit
✅ To be 18+

“Just going down the road”

On Saturday the 10th of October 2026, Swan Hill Highway Patrol intercepted a B-double at the intersection of Robinvale – Sea Lake Rd and Cocamba – Miralie Rd, Cocamba.

The truck was carting hay from farm to farm via public roads. The truck had no restraints on the hay bales making them insecure and one of the trailers was unregistered. The truck also had numerous other safety issues.

The driver was issued an infringement notice of $836 for the insecure load and $1882 for using an unregistered heavy vehicle trailer. The driver was warned regarding the other issues identified with the vehicle.

Coming up to Harvest 2026 it’s a reminder that “just going down the road” is not an excuse for putting the public at risk. Enforcement action may be taken if offences are identified.
