Project Zero Cracks Down on Fatal Five Offenders
Every Wednesday, cops ramp up the pressure with Project Zero, a crackdown aimed at slashing road deaths across the county. This initiative boosts daily patrols, zoning in hard on the notorious Fatal Five killers on the roads:
- Speeding like maniacs
- Drunk or drugged driving
- Texting or using phones behind the wheel
- Skipping seatbelts
- Dangerous or careless driving
Royal Wootton Bassett and Malmesbury Sweep Yields Heavy Hits
Today, officers set up in Royal Wootton Bassett and Malmesbury, handing out a whopping 12 Traffic Offence Reports and 14 Fixed Penalty Notices. The heat was on.
One man’s Ford Fiesta in Tinkersfield reeked of cannabis. He was swiftly arrested on suspicion of drug driving and remains in custody as police question him.
Shocking Driving Dangers Exposed
Roads Policing Sergeant Ben Cox said:
“Our mission is to cut casualties and fatalities on our roads. Project Zero is a vital part of this, giving us extra muscle beyond our everyday patrols.”
“Today’s haul included a driver hammered at 47mph in a 30mph zone in Brinkworth. Then there was a van driver in Royal Wootton Bassett caught without a seatbelt and disqualified from driving. Worse, he was ferrying a passenger in the back without a proper seat. The state of some vehicles and the reckless behaviour risks everyone on the road.”
Project Zero is sending a clear message: break the rules, and you’ll get caught.
