Traffic Operation #Safe4Summer

Hello!

 

On Sunday 27th July your local Neighbourhood Officers conducted a Road Traffic Operation across two locations in Bradshaw and Brandlesholme.

 

  • Officers stopped fifteen vehicles in total, nine of which were travelling over the speed limit. The fastest recorded speed being 41mph in a 30mph zone.

     

  • Seven drivers were issued Traffic Offence Reports which will result in fines or points on licences. 
  •  

  • Two vehicles stopped were given words of advice regarding driving responsibly.
  •  

    I would like to remind road users that a minor road traffic offence can often lead to a serious collision but there are some really simple things you can do to reduce the likelihood of being involved, such as: taking your time, sticking to the speed limit, putting your mobile phone away and of course always wearing a seatbelt.

     

    These are the leading causes of accidents and driving responsibly could greatly reduce the number of incidents we have on the road.

     

    Thanks for reading and stay safe!
