Queensland Police have seized 249 non-compliant e-mobility devices and issued 991 traffic infringement notices during the first month of Operation Yankee Surety, a statewide enforcement campaign targeting unsafe riding and breaches of new road rules. The operation began on July 1, with officers conducting high-visibility patrols across Queensland. Police also carried out 331 roadside breath tests and charged 24 riders with drink-riding offences. Acting Deputy Commissioner Rhys Wildman said officers had identified riders using non-compliant devices, failing to wear helmets, exceeding speed limits and riding under the influence of alcohol. He urged riders and families to understand the new requirements and help keep roads and pathways safe. The operation is scheduled to continue until June 30, 2027. Under Queensland’s new laws, police can seize illegal devices, enforce a 0.05 blood-alcohol limit for riders in public places and restrict powered e-mobility devices to speeds of no more than 25 kilometres per hour. Further requirements, including rider age and licensing rules, will take effect later in 2026. Post navigation Man Charged After Bundaberg Crash Five Charged Over Carindale Robbery
