POLICE have been out on motorways and trunk roads in a bid to reduce road casualties in Essex.

Speed enforcement officers captured more than 70 drivers breaking the speed limit on the M11 and A120 at Stansted.

Two drivers were caught on camera driving at 106mph and 104mph, above the 70mph limit.

Since launching last year, speed enforcement officers have sought out poor and dangerous driving and enforced traffic laws.

They have also carried out their own investigations into offences to bring offenders before the courts.

Head of roads policing Adam Pipe said: “Roads policing is a primary responsibility of police, but we continue to work with our partners in the local authorities, the road safety partnership and with our community volunteers to reduce the risks posed to all our road users and encourage and educate drivers to make better driving decisions.

“I’d ask everyone to play a part and help us keep roads in Essex safe so we can achieve the Vision Zero ambition of no road deaths.”
