Police
During Road safety week, when England was in lockdown, the weather remained poor and most roads were wet, driving was often undertaken with reduced or poor visibility and conditions which should naturally slow traffic down.
Despite this, Avon and Somerset police caught a motorist driving at 154 mph on an A-road, another travelling at 101 mph in fog and one person driving at 80 miles per hour with their hands behind their head. All of these motorists will now be summonsed to court.
Road Safety Week, November 16 until 23, is organised by road safety charity ‘BRAKE’.
The annual event and the biggest road safety awareness event in the UK, this year had the message “No Need To Speed”.
