Peterborough drivers caught in speeding crackdown

Members of the Special Constabulary in Peterborough stopped 19 vehicles for speeding over the weekend.

Officers spent time in six locations around Peterborough conducting speed checks and issuing Traffic Offence Reports (TORs) to those who were not abiding by the laws.

Davids Lane in Werrington showed the highest number of speeding motorists, with six drivers stopped for excess speed.

Officers also conducted checks in Maxey, Bretton Way, Peterborough Road in Eye, Loves Hill in Castor and Atherstone Avenue.

Out of the 19 drivers stopped, three were given a TOR and the others were given words of advice.

SC Sara Mclean said: “We will always look to tackle those who choose to put themselves and our communities in danger by driving over the speed limit.

“Speeding is a common cause of injuries and deaths on our roads and we are working exceptionally hard as a police force to make the roads a safer place for everyone.

“With the roads starting to get busier, I would urge motorists to slow down, drive to the conditions and remember that the limit is not a target.”
