If a vehicle is found to be in need of repairs, the driver is given a warning and a fixed timeframe to make those repairs.
In an extreme case, the vehicle will be pulled off the road.
Police will also be cracking down on speeders in school zones and drivers still using hand-held devices such as cell phones and those not buckling up.
