British Police
in Surrey County seized twenty motorcycles and two cars as
as part of a crackdown on law-breaking motorists.
Surrey is a
county in the South East of England and borders Greater
London, Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, and
Berkshire.
The operation was carried out over last weekend by Surrey
Police and the Surrey Safety Camera Partnership which
patrolled sites around the county. During the operation
officers spotted one motorcyclist riding at 102mph in a
50mph zone.
Although twenty motorcycle were confiscated, 91 tickets were
issued to car drivers and 21 to bikers. Police also noted
that more than two thirds of those caught breaking the speed
limit were car drivers.
However,
according to Police, 'a significant number of bikers failed
to have valid insurance or a proper driving license and as a
result their vehicles were seized.' |
