Hello Residents This week beat officers from Margate and Ramsgate conducted a speeding operation during an evening shift. We attended two locations with hand held speed cameras in order to measure the speed of cars. The first location was Northdown Hill Broadstairs. Dozens of cars were checked for their speed, with none requiring prosecuting for speeding. We then moved to Dumpton Park Drive Ramsgate were three cars was issued traffic offence reports for excess speeding, with the highest speed recorded being 45mph!!!We also issued Sec 59 paperwork to two vehicles after they were seen driving in an anti-social manner. If these vehicles drive in a similar way within the next year police will have the power to seize them from the ownerI would also like to take this moment to remind everyone, if a police officer is at the side of the road and waving you down, please consider that they asking you to stop. Failing to stop when an officer instructs you too, whether this be whilst they are in a car or on the side of a road, can leave you liable to prosecution of driving offences. Further of this operations will take place during the winter months. |
