We stopped two vehicles in Gosport within 5 minutes of eachother. The first vehicle was seized for no insurance & driver issued a TOR, and the second driver was issued with a FPN at the roadside for excess speed.

People often ask why we 'waste' time enforcing on the roads. The reality is that speeding, impaired driving, using mobile phones and not wearing seat belts causes serious injury and death.
We don't see saving lives and preventing injury as a waste of time.
#ItsNotWorthTheRisk

Hit by a car at 20mph 9 out of 10 pedestrians will survive.
At 30 mph, about half of the pedestrians will be killed.
At 40mph 9 out of 10 pedestrians will be killed.
Taking off those extra mph is vital in reducing fatalities on our roads. ☑️

A dangerous driver failed to stop for Police in the #Andover area. As the pursuit progressed, the driver attempted to drive up the wrong side of the motorway. We immediately took action by using 'tactical contact' to ram the suspect vehicle, preventing harm.

Drinking alcohol or taking drugs when driving puts all road users in danger.
Most are sensible and arrange safe transport home after a night out, but there are still some people who put themselves and others at risk.

#Fatal4 #ThamesValleyRP TVP Roads Policing

Young drivers aged 17-25 are the most likely to be seriously injured or killed in collisions. Part of this is risky behaviour encouraged by peers. If you are in a vehicle with a young driver make sure that everyone is wearing a seat belt. #ItsNotWorthTheRisk

This car was stopped on the M25 as the driver was seen to interact and play with their mobile phone.

Driver was issued a TOR - 6 points and £200.
