Something that every Victorian driver should be aware of AS OF TODAY.
Mandatory loss of licence, Alcohol education course & an alcohol interlock fitted to car when licence is re-obtained for *ALL* drink driving offences.
And don't forget that since January 2018 that if the offence occurs in another state Victorians still receive the same penalties as they would in Victoria.

Also
Vehicle and Trailer Inspection Powers.
Section 13 of the Road Safety Act also starts today, allowing police to conduct random safety inspections of any motor vehicle or trailer located in a
public place, whether or not the vehicle is attended.
Previously the owner/operator had to be present which had been a problem to cops when confronted with a parked vehicle with obvious defects and being unable to wait around to do something about it!
Those with big lifts etc would be wise to consider where they park their vehicles I reckon.
