Police keep tabs on serial road pests, with files on those who break the law and where they do it Police have revealed they know who our serial road pests are, and where they are likely to break the law. POLICE are keeping reports on serial road pests - complete with the driver's photograph and roads they frequent - so they can lay in wait and catch them in the act. The strategy is just one being used by the newly formed Road Policing Command in an effort to curb Queensland's spiralling road toll. As of yesterday, 157 people had died on the state's roads this year - 22 more than at the same time last year. Road Policing Command Inspector Craig Hanlon said targeting the worst drivers was just one tactic the new unit would use to make roads safer. ``Unfortunately there are drivers who use our road network that will never comply with the legislation - I'm talking about people who consistently breach the road rules and behave in a manner that creates risk," he said. ``What we do is identify people who have significant traffic history and the information is provided to police in that area. ``Police will then target them at known times when they would be using the road network. ``We have those lists all over the state so local police, as well as police from Road Policing Command, are well and truly aware who these people are. Insp Hanlon said the reports typically included the serial offender's type of car, normal travel habits and even warnings if they were known to drive disqualified or unlicensed and hastily swap seats with passengers if pulled over. ``For instance, I have 10 people on a traffic intelligence briefing for a suburb on the Sunshine Coast for things like drug driving, driving while unlicensed, drivers with excessive criminal histories, drivers who have been disqualified from driving on a number of occasions and drug users, along with their photos," Insp Hanlon said. ``Those intelligence briefings will go out to local police who will target those people. He said many of the people on their lists had been in trouble with the law off the road as well as on. ``People who are risk takers in their life will be risk takers on the road," Insp Hanlon said. ``People who flout the law in their normal lives will flout the law on our road networks. The restructured section - which came online on July 1 - will also target danger ``hot spots" and use independent research to form strategies to improve driver behaviour. ``The aim of the Road Policing Command is to use research and intelligence to target particular behaviours, as well as people who are recidivist traffic offenders," Insp Hanlon said. ``We will also be targeting the places where these traffic issues are occurring. ``If we receive complaints that a certain number of crashes are occurring at a certain place, we make sure we have appropriate resources that can go and address and manage that problem. ``There is no point in us putting police resources where there is no need for them.
