Victoria Police is urging road users to be safe and responsible after a disappointing and deadly few weeks.
Despite there being far less vehicles on Victorian roads due to the current coronavirus pandemic, 23 lives have been lost since the start of July.
Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Libby Murphy said there were dangerous trends emerging.
“Since there has been less cars on the road, we are seeing people treat the highways like a speedway,” she said.
“We are seeing an increase in the number of serious collisions involving motorcycles, both off road and on road.”
The warning comes after a 27-year-old Shepparton man was killed in the early hours of 13 August after the car he was driving veered off the road and crashed into a tree.
A motorcyclist was also killed after losing control while travelling in convoy with a second motorcyclist in Mount Martha on 1 August.
