Officers from the mainland-based Roads Policing Unit joined our Isle of Wight colleagues this week for a two-day enforcement operation on the Island’s Roads

We have been listening to the concerns of Island residents around road safety, and we receive reports of driving standards issues such as speeding, mobile phone use and general poor driving.

Operation Wightwash has been stood up in recent years to bolster our efforts in intercepting drivers committing offences on Isle of Wight roads, and is run at regular intervals throughout the year.
