Police nabbed not one, but two unlicensed Springvale drivers during a Queen’s Birthday blitz.
Moorabbin Highway Patrol officers intercepted a vehicle on Karen Street, Highett, about 5.35pm on Friday 9 June.
They discovered the 54-year-old Springvale woman behind the wheel had a suspended licence and immediately impounded her car for 30 days at a cost of $932.
She called a 22-year-old woman, also from Springvale, to collect her.
Police allege she disobeyed a no U-turn sign in front of them and also had a suspended licence.
Both women are expected to be charged on summons.
The intercepts were part of Operation Regal, a state-wide focus on road user behaviour and awareness about the importance of drivers taking responsibility for their own actions on the road.
The operation started on Friday 9 June at 12.01am and was to finish at 11.59pm on Monday 12 June.
Police targeted the main causes of fatalities and serious injuries, including speed, driver distraction, drivers not wearing their seatbelts, fatigue, and drink and drug drivers.
