🚔 As part of the #OpSpotlight campaign, officers conducted speed enforcement at Tilmanstone using TruCAM technology. The highest speed recorded was a staggering 131mph. Excess speed remains one of the top contributing factors in serious and fatal collisions. #RoadSafety GG

If you're heading out for a ride on your motorbike this weekend or over the summer, please ride safely and take extra care if you're riding in a group. We're warning of the risks and giving advice after three fatal collisions involving motorcyclists riding in convoys this year.
