LOCAL Police are patrolling backroads across Ararat Rural City in a bid to curve the number of accidents and deaths on country roads.
Operation SPEEDIE ties in with the Victorian Police Road Safety Strategy that states death and serious injury are not inevitable, they are preventable!
Ararat Police members as well as officers based in Elmhurst, Willaura and Lake Bolac are regularly patrolling quieter country roads and running random speed tests in an effort to get drivers to slow down.
