In all, the State Highway Patrol found 375 offences and detected 295 offenders from November 26-29.
Among the offences included 40 for impaired driving, of which 36 were found to have drugs in their system.
One of those impaired drivers were caught speeding at allegedly 180km/h along the Western Freeway. Police also detected another driver in the same location driving at 150 km/h. Both were detected within half an hour of each other.
Police said they wanted to remind people of the serious dangers of impaired and speeding to all road users.
