POLICE nabbed almost 10,000 motorists for speeding on NSW roads during the Christmas holiday period, but no lives have been lost on the state's roads in the past two days.
NSW police said 9972 drivers had been caught speeding since December 20, when this year's Operation Safe Arrival began.
They said 486,087 breath tests had been issued, with 710 drivers charged for drink-driving.
Provisional and learner drivers were "dominating the most serious incidents", police said.
"We are still seeing too many people breaking the road rules - particularly drink-driving and speeding," Assistant Commissioner John Hartley said in a statement.
"The fact we are still seeing learner and provisional drivers continuing to put others at risk by breaking the law is also of concern."
NSW's road toll is at seven, with no reports of fatal crashes on the state's roads on Tuesday or so far on Wednesday.
On Monday, a young girl was killed and five other people injured in a single-vehicle crash about 50 kilometres south of Cessnock.
Earlier on Wednesday, the state government said 2013 had the lowest number of people die on NSW's roads since 1924.
Roads Minister Duncan Gay said provisional figures showed the death toll was 339 last year, down from 369 in 2012.
But cyclist fatalities have doubled since 2012.
The national road toll period runs from midnight December 23, 2013, until midnight January 3, 2014, local times, in line with the Australia New Zealand Policing Advisory Board.
