North Coast Op

The "North Roads" "North 6xx" cars are back in force.
Looks like a blitz is on. Seems the local cars aren't changing call-signs this time...still using regular calls.

Heard that the booze bus is in the area, too. And GD patrols have been beefed up.

Some of the crews are having problems with locations...and the Newcastle VKG people aren't always, a big help.
Had a bloke in a pursuit a while ago. On the Bruxner Highway near Goonellabar. But he couldn't describe where he was. Made a couple of land-mark references that were quite explicit to anyone local, but the operator couldn't direct the other "North" vehicle looking to help.
No worries. Motorist stopped. Had a hearing problem and didn't realize he was being pursued.

It's Operation Drink Drive II. It's a statewide operation.
