Police target speeding drivers

A November crackdown on speeding motorists saw police deploy detection equipment 36 times.

Officers targeted hot spots in Cowdenbeath, Crossgates, Kelty, Lochgelly, Lumphinnans, Cardenden and Benarty throughout the month.

Local Area Chief Inspector Ross Bennet said, "Only a small number of warnings were given when the margin of offences fell within agreed guidelines. However speed continues to be factor with one motorist recorded at 45mph in a 30mph area which clearly presents an obvious danger."

He added, "We will continue our focus on speeding issues affecting our communities in our determination to make them safer in keeping with our commitment outlined in the Policing Plan to creating safer neighbourhoods."
