Over 25,000 traffic infringement notices have been issued to motorists so far this year for speeding.
Fiji Police Force Director Traffic Senior Superintendent of Police Mitieli Divuana reveals this while pleading with motorists to slow down when driving on our roads.
Divuana says the Southern Division recorded the most bookings for traffic infringement notices with 11,140, followed by the Western Division with 10,227 bookings.
2,480 bookings were recorded in the Northern Division with 2,113 bookings in the Eastern Division.
He adds the constant factor in fatalities and accidents is speeding, with the national road death toll currently at 56, compared to 21 for the same period last year.
Divuana says the highest number of road fatalities recorded over the last 10-year period from 2013 to 2023 was 70 in 2017 and 2018.
The Director Traffic says drivers must think of their families waiting at home and the rights of other road users not to feel threatened by unruly and dangerous driving behaviour.
