More than 5000 offences were detected by Victoria Police during Operation Scoreboard over the AFL Grand Final long weekend.
The operation saw police targeting high-risk driving behaviour, with a particular focus on drink and drug driving.
The total 5,483 offences detected included 2341 speeding offences, 213 drink driving offences, 130 drug driving offences, 352 disqualified/suspended and unlicenced drivers and 489 unregistered vehicles.
Sadly, as many people were out celebrating, it was a tragic weekend with four lives lost in separate collisions.
That brings Victoria’s total road toll to 217 this year, already 30 more than the same time frame in 2022.
