Police Warn: Speeding Will Not Be Tolerated
“Speeding is one of the four most common causes of fatal and serious injury collisions,” warned Chief Inspector Michael Hodder of the Surrey and Sussex Roads Policing Unit. “While most drivers obey speed limits, a reckless few put lives at risk.”
Hodder urged anyone with information to come forward, saying: “Our enquiries are ongoing. Report details online or call 101 quoting Operation Checkmate.” You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
