Victorian police will be working on two fronts this weekend as police target non-essential road travel and the usual Easter-time driving offenses.

Besides the usual traffic infringements, Victorians can expect a fine of up to $1600 for non-essential travel—the highest fine for committing the offense in any of the eight Australian states and territories.
