FORTY-two drivers are facing parish hall inquiries after being caught speeding during a joint campaign by the States and honorary police last week.
A further 21 motorists were issued with words of advice for other driving matters or using defective vehicles.
The initiative, run as part of National Road Safety Week, focussed on speed and various related issues, including road conditions and stopping distances.
Each year the States police run campaigns combining targeted enforcement and education.
Inspector Callum O’Connor, the lead for roads policing said: “If these campaigns raise awareness of the dangers and consequences of speeding and help to slow one person down, then they have been successful.
“Knowing your stopping distances and the impact driving a few miles over the speed limit could make to a pedestrian involved in a collision, does make a difference if it is in people’s minds when they get behind the wheel.
“Although last week’s focus was on speeding, roads policing forms part of every-day policing to maintain safety on our roads and we continue to look out for those that put other road users at risk on our roads. The results of this initiative underscore the importance of ongoing efforts to promote road safety and ensure the well-being of everyone on Jersey’s roads.”
Anti-social and bad driving can be reported online at jersey.police.uk or by calling 612612.
