A motorist was caught doing 52mph in a 30mph zone during a police operation against speeding.

The driver was clocked by officers in Robin Hood Lane in Walderslade and, along with eight other motorists, was issued with a traffic offence report for speeding which could potentially lead to a fine or court appearance.

An uninsured car was also seized by officers from Kent Police's Medway community safety unit, who carried out road safety checks in Walderslade, Gillingham and the Medway City Estate between 10am and 5pm on Thursday.

One motorist also received a traffic offence report for driving with no insurance and a further 35 motorists were stopped and given advice by officers.

Insp Steve Bassett, from the Medway community safety unit, said: "The vast majority of motorists in Medway drive in full accordance of the Highway Code but those who don’t endanger other road users and themselves.

"To keep road users safe, we carry out operations like this throughout the year and these particular checks were arranged after specific concerns were reported to us by residents.

"As a result, numerous drivers were engaged with and an uninsured car was seized. As is always the case for any incident, we determined the most proportionate course of action when we stopped individuals and numerous motorists are now facing enforcement action."
