The first phase of RCIPS' road safety campaign, Operation Clyro, launched this past Friday, 27 March. Over this past weekend, the public would have seen increased traffic patrols and vehicle checkpoints, throughout the districts.
Between Friday and Monday, officers prosecuted over 90 persons for illegal tint, and over 70 persons for speeding. Police also observed and prosecuted a number of persons driving vehicles which were not properly licensed: over 25. The majority of prosecutions took place on Sunday, 29 March.
One driver was recorded travelling at over the double the speed limit in a 40mph zone, with a recorded speed of 84mph. This driver will have to attend court and will likely lose their license for a minimum of 12 months.
Over the course of the rest of the week, into Easter weekend. Officers will continue to target speeders, and other road users who engage in dangerous driving behaviours.
