Police alarmed by brazen driving offences near school, risking livesPolice are alarmed by the number of people seen breaking road rules and threatening lives near a primary school during an operation last week. He called the behaviour dangerous, especially so when it was directly outside a school with children as young as 5 crossing the road. Police started the operation because of a "concerning number" of reports of near misses involving children outside that particular primary school. "Police sometimes get criticised for running these operations, however, this is an example of why it's an important part of our prevention work," Wakelin said. For me, a successful operation is one where police do not identify any offences, as that would mean motorists are driving safely."
