Police in Orkney take part in national roads week of action

Police in Orkney are participating in a national campaign to deter and detect speeding and inappropriate drivers.

The campaign, which started yesterday morning, will see police targeting irresponsible and inappropriate driving behaviour, as well as reminding and educating drivers about the dangers of speeding.

Police Scotland Highland and Islands Division, Road Policing Inspector Neil Lumsden said: “Our involvement in this campaign highlights our commitment to road safety within the Highlands and Islands. It will provide an opportunity for focused police activity whilst raising awareness with the motoring public which is key to ensuring that our roads are safer for all who use them.

“The campaign is as much about education as it is about enforcement and we want to see motorists driving responsibly and making responsible decisions.”
