Their number is up, says cops

Disqualified drivers beware – Greater Dandenong police have you in their sights.
The same goes for unlicensed drivers and those with unregistered vehicles, outstanding warrants or unpaid fines.
Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol Senior Sergeant Scott Roberts said an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) operation on Princes Highway in Dandenong on 15 March was a sign of things to come.
“There will be more and more ANPR operations in Greater Dandenong,” he said.
“We’ve got a large amount of banned drivers that are utilising the road still.
“They are overrepresented in trauma collisions.
“Us detecting disqualified drivers goes some way towards addressing that.”
Sen Sgt Roberts said the Casey Highway Patrol crew had a BlueNet car, which automatically scanned number plates whenever officers drove it.
“We’re hoping for some more of those,” he said.
“If anybody’s out there and driving around, they need to make sure before they get behind the wheel of a car that the car is registered and that they have a licence.”
