Shetland police clampdown on drivers

A police crackdown on motorists on Shetland led to 35 alleged driving offences being detected.

The increased patrols mounted in January led to one driver being charged with drink driving, and around a dozen charged with speeding.

Shetland’s acting chief inspector Lindsay Tulloch said police were focusing resources on tackling various concerns identified about driving in the islands.

Only one out of 54 drivers breath-tested was found to be over the prescribed limit and arrested, while 12 were charged with speeding, 15 charged with driving with no seat belt, three charged with using a mobile phone while driving, three charged with driving without insurance and one without an MOT.

“We will continue to enforce road traffic legislation and work towards educating motorists in order to reduce the number of casualties on our roads,” Tulloch said.

“The clear message is: drive within the speed limit, wear your seat belt, do not use a mobile phone while driving your car, and ensure your vehicle is in a roadworthy condition, has a valid MOT certificate and is insured for use on the public road.

“To get this message across, traffic patrols in both marked and unmarked police vehicles will continue in the weeks ahead.”
