A motorcyclist has been clocked going twice the speed limit near a small village.
The biker was caught by police racing down an A road near Sissinghurst.
Officers were carrying out speed checks on the A262 when the incident occurred.
The motorcycle was recorded doing over 65mph on the 30mph limit road.
An officer issued the rider with a Section 59 notice, which warns that the offending vehicle might be seized if they are caught driving dangerously or inconsiderately again.
If a vehicle is seized, the owner will have to pay a sum to get their vehicle back, plus an amount for every day their vehicle is in storage.
Three other traffic offence reports were issued during the day's stint on Wednesday, September 15.
