Vic: People still think they are invincible on roads: police

Victoria police say the horror spate of road deaths over Christmas shows some people
still think they're invincible on the roads.

Six people have died on Victorian roads since Friday .. with the national Christmas
and New Year holiday road toll now standing at 24.

Victoria's Assistant Commissioner NOEL ASHBY says while the wet and slippery conditions
over Christmas have been exceptional .. drivers's attitudes on the road must change.

He's told the Nine Network .. probationary drivers are still the most over-represented
group relating to road deaths and injuries to themselves and others.
