Somerset Police detected 2,820 road traffic offences during Road Safety Week
Avon and Somerset Police say they are dealing with 2,820 road traffic offences that were detected during November’s Road Safety Week.
The event saw mostly wet roads, often with reduced or poor visibility and conditions which should naturally slow traffic down.
Despite this, Police say the offences included a motorist driving at 154 mph on an A-road in poor weather, 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, organised by road safety charity ‘BRAKE’, is an annual event and the biggest road safety awareness event in the UK. This year, the campaign message was “No Need To Speed”.
