Despite several reminders and warnings issued by the Fiji Police Force, speeding continues to top the number of traffic infringement notices issued on a daily basis.

Police say from the 141 traffic infringement notices issued for speeding between 6am Thursday to 6am Friday, this figure increased to 166 for the same period from 6am Friday to 6 yesterday morning.

They say during this 24-hour period, two men were arrested for allegedly driving under the influence in the Western Division.

Both suspects, a 64-year-old doctor and a 19-year-old student were arrested in Martintar after 1 yesterday morning.

Police say that traffic operations will be boosted throughout this weekend all over the country, and they will continue to issue reminders and safety awareness messages.

They hope that the advice will be taken seriously for the sake of preventing more lives from being lost on our roads.
