Cops urge drivers to travel safely
Police have reminded drivers to follow speed limits and drive to conditions across the long weekend.
"Many people will be undertaking long distance driving to see family and friends and I would like to remind them to ensure they have had sufficient rest before undertaking these journeys," Acting Assistant Commissioner David Waddell said.
"If you're feeling fatigued, don't fight it just pull up and have a sleep or swap drivers.
"Driving fatigued is just as dangerous as driving impaired under the influence of alcohol and drug use which we will also be targeting. On a daily basis we are detecting drivers affected by alcohol and drugs.
"This year alone 148 people have been killed on NSW roads. Behind these numbers are family and friends who have lost a loved one. We will be doing our utmost to ensure people arrive safely to their destination."
