Special constable Linda Still, who assisted with the operation, said: “It goes without saying that a collision at these speeds would have catastrophic consequences.
“With the school holidays approaching we know that this is typically a time when roads are busier with cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians.
“We are supporting the vulnerable road users’ campaign to encourage people to be more aware of increased traffic and people using the roads.
“Please slow down, respect the safety of other road users and if you’re tempted to speed then think about what the consequences of your decision could be. Please also be aware that on rural roads there can be animals such as deer.”
Anyone who has concerns about excessive speed on antisocial driving is advised to call 101 with as much detail as possible including make, model and colour of cars.
