A driver was caught doing 47kmh over the speed limit during an early-morning police blitz that nabbed 29 drivers on Wednesday.

Ballarat and district drivers have also copped 39 per cent more speeding fines compared with last year, according to figures the State Opposition released yesterday.

Ballarat Traffic Management Unit police are frustrated at drivers who treat speed limits with contempt and ignore road safety warnings.

Ballarat TMU Senior Sergeant Murray Rowe has pleaded with drivers to slow down and take heed of road safety messages from police, VicRoads and the TAC.

"It's all about reducing road trauma," Sen Sgt Rowe said.

"We are trying our best to stop this road trauma.

"After 39 years (as a policeman) it's quite frustrating that we're out there preaching, we are out there trying to save lives, and we still get people who are missing the point."

Sen Sgt Rowe said police, VicRoads and the TAC worked together to highlight the dangers of speeding through the media, but were open to new ideas about getting the message through.

"If you've got any ideas, let's hear about them," he said.

Acting Sergeant Brad Fisher conducted the early-morning blitz on Wednesday, catching 29 drivers for speeding, five for not obeying stop signs, three unregistered cars, two drivers not wearing seatbelts

and one disqualified driver behind the wheel.

The driver caught at 107kmh in Heinz Ln, Invermay, has had their drivers' licence suspended for 12 months, and received a penalty notice with eight demerit points and a $451 fine.

Act Sgt Fisher said the drivers' behaviour was "ridiculous".

"We are around all hours of the day," he warned.

"People should bear in mind they have to stay in line with the speed limit.

"Speed limits are there for a reason."

Act Sgt Fisher said drivers should also be aware of early-morning fog and slow down to a safe speed.

He said drivers should use their headlights in the fog so it was easier for them to see and be seen.
