Sergeant Warns: Drive Safe or Pay The Price
“Motorists who drive at speed, use a phone at the wheel, or drive uninsured or in defective vehicles put themselves and others at serious risk,” said Sergeant Colette Todd of Canterbury Community Safety Unit. “We’re glad most drivers stick to the rules, but we won’t hesitate to act against those who don’t.”
