The Road Policing Unit (RPU) has recently teamed up with the Rother Community Speed Watch (CSW) team in Cooden Drive, Bexhill after receiving multiple reports of drivers speeding and being abusive to the CSW volunteers. On a recent patrol, the RPU encountered a group of speeding drivers, one of whom decided to taunt the CSW team by driving past them slowly, revving his engine and creating a disturbance.

However, this driver did not notice the Traffic Officer sitting in a side road, who immediately pulled him over to give him a verbal warning for his behaviour. Upon inspection, the officer found that the young driver’s rear tyre had less than 1.6mm tread, which is illegal and poses a significant danger to other road users.
