Speed enforcement activity

Road safety concerns, in particular speeding, are consistently raised by our local communities.

Today I supported PC 22989 THWAITES enforcing at Southend, Ledbury and detected a number of motorists going above the 30mph speed limit. The usual grace was given of 10% plus 2. Words of advice was given to drivers within this however, three drivers were reported for doing speeds of 37mph, 39mph, 40mph. 

Speeding can have a devastating impact on the safety of road users, increasing the risk of a collision and the severity of the consequences. If prosecuted for speeding, the minimum penalty is a £100 fine and 3 penalty points.

Enforcing the speed limit is a 24/7 activity for us so don’t risk it.
