Speeders beware! As Thames Valley Police is cracking down on speeding throughout Bucks.
They are supporting the National Police Chiefs Council speeding campaign, running from the 19 July to 8 August.
Throughout the campaign, officers will be carrying out extra enforcement across the area, targeting drivers who make the choice to speed, increasing the risks to themselves and other road users.
PC Dave Hazlett, Road Safety Officer for Hampshire & Thames Valley Police said:
“As traffic gradually increases to pre-pandemic levels, the risk of collisions will naturally increase.
“We are urging drivers and riders to simply slow down; not only to drive within the speed limit but also drive to the road conditions.
“There are times when driving to a speed limit maybe too fast particularly on motorways, dual carriageways and rural roads which present higher risks.
“Expect the unexpected and drive at an appropriate speed where you can react quickly to any hazards and stop safely.
“Speeding is one of the fatal four factors that could increase the chance of road users being killed or seriously injured in a road traffic collision.
“It’s not worth the risk.”
