Peterborough’s Neighbourhood Policing team issued the driver with a section 59 warning.

Section 59 of the Road Traffic Act allows Police to issue warnings to drivers who have used their vehicle in a manner which causes ‘alarm, distress or annoyance (anti-socially).’

If the offence is repeated again within a year, they would have the right to confiscate the vehicle.

Police issued a second section 59 order to a driver in Stapledon Road for similar offences.

A statement from Cambridgeshire Police on Facebook said: “We will continue to tackle anti-social driving issues within our communities and respond to the concerns raised by those affected by this, alongside working with the council and local businesses to put in preventative measures.
