One Driver Clocks 71mph in 30mph Zone Amid Speeding Clampdown

Following community concerns regarding speeding on Holmeswood Road in Rufford, we wanted to let you know about a recent speeding check site.

On Sunday (21st April 2024), we stopped 15 people who were exceeding the 30mph speed limit on the road. All were issued with a traffic offence report.

One driver was clocked driving at 71mph in the 30mph zone. They will be summonsed to court and will be dealt with accordingly.

Inspector Chris Walsh from Lancashire Police’s Roads Policing Unit said: “It is well researched and documented that speeding kills and so we would urge all motorists to drive safely and within the confines of the law.
“We are committed to reducing the number of people killed and injured on the county’s roads and we will continue to use enforcement, engagement and education of drivers to help us achieve this.”
