Just a friendly reminder to adjust your car clock for daylight savings this weekend. The controls should be located near the indicator. Actually, never mind...no one seems to know where that is anyway.

ACT Policing is aware of social media posts circulating about campers being permitted to stay at Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC) until Tuesday. This information is incorrect.
Campers currently staying at EPIC must leave the facility by today.

Do not drive down to ACT's southern suburbs and stop on the side of the road to take photos of the bushfire. Police have had to actively move on people and cars this evening so they don't hinder operations and clog roads. You are creating unnecessary risk.

First of all: The legal limit for P-platers is zero.
Secondly: We’re still out there conducting breath tests.
In conclusion: Don’t drink & drive.
Thanks for coming to our TED Talk.

This driver was doing 151km/h in an 80km/h zone. That’s 70km/h over the speed limit! When you convert that into a penalty it equals 6 points and a $1,841 fine. Just because there are less cars on the road doesn’t mean you can drive unsafely. We will catch you.
