This afternoon the Ashby Beat team conducted a Road Safety Operation in Ashby

Officers positioned themselves on a section of Measham Road in the town which has a 30 MPH limit.

Traffic was moderate with 105 vehicles passing through the speed check.

It was very encouraging to find that only 2 of those vehicles were travelling in excess of 30 MPH.

We would encourage the 2 offending drivers to make conscious choices on the road and prioritise their safety and the safety of other road users and pedestrians.

Please slow down and save lives. Speed limits are there for a reason. 

Action will be taken against those who exceeded the speed limit and the results fed back to the Force Road Safety Unit.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the 103 drivers who adhered to the speed limit.

REMEMBER – “A FAST DRIVE COULD BE YOUR LAST DRIVE!”
