Man on meth caught at the wheel A POLICE operation on Cranbourne-Frankston Road, 30 May, saw one motorist caught driving with meth in their system.

Highway Patrol Sergeant Matthew Nott said “we make no apologies for taking people’s cars when they make the conscious decision to drive when they don’t have a licence. This is not a game, and people need to learn no licence means no driving, it’s as simple as that.” “Please drive, ride and walk safely, especially in poor weather conditions,” he said.
