Northamptonshire Police issue fresh road safety warnings
It's as over 200 prosecutions have been issued for offences this year
The clocks going back often coincides with an increase in collisions on the county’s roads which has prompted Northamptonshire Police to issue a reminder on the importance of being considerate to all road users.
To illustrate the point, the Force’s Safer Roads Team has released a short compilation of clips submitted to Northamptonshire Police’s online portal Operation Snap to highlight examples of poor driver behaviour captured on the area's roads.
The video has been created using camera footage submitted by cyclists between January and September this year, during which period the Force received 284 Operation Snap submissions from 69 individual witnesses.
This resulted in 207 of the submissions leading to prosecutions against the registered owners of vehicles, while no further action was taken in the other 77 incidents due to evidential reasons.
