Of the 240 drivers stopped, 45 were caught using their mobile phone while driving, 74 were found to not be wearing a seatbelt, 10 were found to be not in proper control of their vehicle and 12 found to be driving without due care and attention.
A further 31 drivers were dealt with for stopping on the hard shoulder, two drivers were speeding and three were caught driving through a red X.
Roads Policing Inspector Matt Collings said: “We are committed to doing all we can to reduce road deaths and casualties, but we can’t be everywhere, road users must take responsibility for their actions and safety.
“If you kill or seriously hurt someone, you will likely be facing a significant prison sentence. Think, is it worth the risk?”
