Highway Patrol are currently conducting random drug and alcohol testing on Hinterland Way near the St Helena speed camera.
The operations are targeting traffic in both directions.
A reader told Echonetdaily he ‘didn’t break a sweat’ waiting three minutes for the drug test result ‘because I’m on a cleanse for new year’.
But, he added, ‘I’m glad they didn’t look too closely at my vehicle. I had a slight bingle and its awaiting repairs but the smash repair shop has been closed over the holidays’.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
