<\/b>Police have suspended a woman from driving for six months after she was allegedly detected exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km\/h on the Hume Highway, Jugiong with unrestrained children in the car.<\/p>\n
About 4.45pm (Sunday 6 December 2015), police from the Gundagai Highway Patrol were conducting stationary speed enforcement on the Hume Highway at Jugiong when they detected a silver Kia Sportage allegedly travelling at 163km\/h in a 110km\/h zone.<\/p>\n
Police stopped the vehicle and spoke to the 25-year-old female driver. The officers noticed two girls, aged eight and nine, in the back seat attempting to fasten their seat belts. They also saw a boy aged seven in the front seat without a seat belt.<\/p>\n
The woman was breath-tested and returned a negative result.<\/p>\n
Police issued a speed infringement notice and an infringement notice for each unrestrained child.<\/p>\n
Police continue to appeal to all road users to obey basic road rules to avoid tragic consequences.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe alleged irresponsible actions of this driver are exactly what we continue to warn against,\u201d Assistant Commissioner John Hartley of the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis could have ended in tragic circumstances in a split second. Speeding and having children unrestrained in a vehicle is completely unacceptable. The driver should have acted as a role model to the children she was driving but instead, she put them in harm\u2019s way,\u201d Assistant Commissioner Hartley said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
