    To be honest, they should take a break from drivers who are doing maybe 1 or 2 mph over the limit, and concentrate more on the jerks who are driving while talking on their phones, this is more important, specially the 4x4 layabouts, who think the roads belong to them, specially the young women, they are the worst i'm afraid.
    Talking, hands free or otherwise, is one thing and bad enough, but using the 'net or texting is far worse and a report this week says that a very large proportion of young drivers admit to updating Facebook whilst driving. There aren't enough traffic police to effectively enforce the 'phone law sadly."

Crackdown on speeding drivers this week

Crackdown on speeding drivers this week Crackdown on speeding drivers this week

SPEEDING motorists could face court as police crack down this week on those breaking the limit.

Thames Valley Police will be taking part in the European Traffic Police Network campaign from today until Sunday.

Officers will conduct random speed checks throughout the Thames Valley area at all times of the day and night.

Offenders could get a summons to attend court or a Fixed Penalty Notice.

During last year’s campaign, 1,329 drivers got such penalties.

Sgt Chris Appleby, from the Joint Roads Policing Department, said: “This campaign is another example of the determination and continuous commitment of Thames Valley Police to tackle the issue of speeding in our communities.

"Drivers who choose to break the law will be prosecuted.”
