Road Safety

Dangerous drivers were reported and cars were seized by officers tackling nuisance motorists in Sittingbourne at the end of last month.

On Wednesday 25th February patrols attended the High Street area to carry out checks following concerns raised about road safety in the area.

During the day, a total of 13 traffic offence reports were given to drivers for offences such as mobile phone use at the wheel, having no insurance and not wearing a seatbelt.

Three vehicles were seized along with four e-scooters.

Speeding motorists will be targeted by Kent Police as part of a two week national campaign aimed at reducing the number of people killed or seriously injured on the roads.

Between Monday 26th July and Sunday 8th August 2021, Kent Police and other forces across the country will be supporting an operation led by the National Police Chiefs’ Council to educate and enforce the law against those who speed and place other road users at risk.

Volunteers from Kent Police's Special Constabulary have taken part in a road safety initiative to help keep motorists safe here in Sittingbourne.

Last Saturday (27th February) a total of three Special Inspectors, three Special Sergeants and seven Special Constables dealt with issues including drivers not wearing seatbelts, speeding and lack of insurance in a targeted operation in the Mill Way area.
