Clampdown on speeding Bracknell drivers
Thames Valley Police carried out speed checks on Warfield Street, Bracknell, yesterday (23/1) as part of Operation Pride, an ongoing initiative to educate drivers about the dangers of speeding.
Officers from Roads Policing, together with the Thames Valley Safer Roads Partnership, and Road Safety Officers from Bracknell Council were on Warfield Street between 8.30am and 10.30am.
They stopped 26 drivers exceeding the 30mph speed limit. Drivers received a mixture of enforcement with a fixed penalty notice of £60 and three penalty points or education and advice given by a Road Safety Officer on the dangers of speeding.
PC Bob Wade, Road Safety Constable for Berkshire, said: “Speed enforcement is requested by the local residents, therefore we are responding to the wishes of local people as expressed via the Neighbourhood Action Groups. We will be running a number of operations throughout the year to target speeding, seatbelts, and mobile phone use.”
