A road safety operation along the A303 near Amesbury saw 18 offences detected in just five hours, including one driver travelling at 23mph over the speed limit.
Ten Special Constables from our Specials Road Safety Team ran Operation Busline on Sunday (13th August), which coincides with the Force's commitment to prioritise road safety this summer following a high number of fatalities and serious injury collisions.
The officers utilised an unmarked minibus as a ‘spotter vehicle’ to help detect offences being committed behind the wheel along the stretch of the A303 between Solstice Park and Airmans Cross Roundabout near Stonehenge.
A/Insp Will Ayres said: “We are grateful to our Special Constabulary for carrying out this operation which further emphasises our commitment to making Wiltshire’s roads safer and targeting those drivers who fail to abide by the law.
“Some of these offences will no doubt seem trivial to some, but they can lead to serious or fatal collisions on our roads.
“Please ensure your vehicle is roadworthy, and give the road and other road users your full attention at all times.”
