00:00All right, get your life. No, stop, stop. Foot on brake. Foot on brake.

00:08Police are cracking down on dangerous drivers in Queensland, with incidents resulting in

00:12arrests and heavy fines. A motorcyclist allegedly reached 191 kilometres on the Pacific Highway at

00:19McGregor. The 31-year-old rider was caught weeks later and charged with multiple offences including

00:26evading police, driving unlicensed, and using fake number plates.

00:45Officers pulled over a yellow Porsche in Chandler on May 18.

00:49So we've got a Porsche GT4, yellow in colour. That's overtaken the unmarked police vehicle.

00:58Alleging the driver hit 168 kilometres in a 90 zone.

01:02I'll stop you today because of your speed, mate. Moreton Bay Road signposted. Do you know what the speed limit is?

01:09You know the 90 zone there, you just opened it right up and just went way too fast crazy along there.

01:15So 168 kilometres an hour is your posted speed on that section of road. Do you have your driver's licence handy there?

01:20I guess I'll ask you this question. If you saw us on the news interacting with a Hoon vehicle,

01:27so not your vehicle, not you, a Hoon vehicle, and we stopped that vehicle doing 168 in a 90 zone,

01:34what's your expectation as a member of this community as to how we're going to deal with that person?

01:45What's your expectation of police?

01:55There's no lawful reason for being 78 kilometres over the speed limit.

01:58You'll receive an infringement notice.

02:00I know that's not what you want to hear from me.

02:02I do understand the implications that go with it.

02:04A 29-year-old man in Salisbury allegedly failed a breath test

02:08before returning a staggering blood alcohol reading of 0.364, over seven times the legal limit.

02:15All right, you got your licence. No, stop, stop. Foot on brake. Foot on brake.

02:20Yeah.

02:22All right, pass your licence.

02:27Blow out. Out.

02:30Like you were doing before, out.

02:31You're sucking in.

02:38OK, you're under arrest.

02:4015 people have died on roads in Brisbane South so far in 2025.

02:45Under arrest, failing to provide for you.

02:47Six more than this time last year.
