Police bust bad drivers

Sussex Police have spent well over a week trying to catch drivers who drive illegally or use their phones in their stationary vehicles and the operation has been a huge success with many reckless drivers busted.

Officers were ensuring motorists had full control of their vehicles, were driving safely and sensibly, wore their seatbelts, and were not driving under the influence of drink or drugs.

25 drivers were pulled over for driving whilst distracted. 19 drivers were pulled over for using a handheld device behind the wheel. 30 drivers were offered road safety advice. 18 drivers received a fixed penalty notice (FPN). Three drivers received a notice of intended prosecution (NIP).

Police were catching bad drivers in an undercover HGV, filming any road traffic offenses which were committed on the A27, A23, M25, and M23 during their patrols.
