Earlier this week police targeted speeding drivers along two roads in Swindon after they were highlighted as regular speeding hotspots.
With a number of schools in the area Kingsdown Road was targeted due the safety of school children being compromised. Officers also carried out speed checks in Thamesdown Drive.
Present in the two locations throughout the morning, 17 tickets for driving at excess speed were issued to motorists, along with words of advice to others.
Police even managed to find some time to make the day of some children at Kingsdown Pre-School nursery by showing them around their police vehicle displaying their lights and sirens.
Sgt Martin said: “This community engagement is invaluable and the safety of our roads becoming an increasing issue in our community. Seeing the large amount of tickets provided in such a short space of time is remarkable and I urge drivers and other road users to consider the impact their driving has on others, especially local schools and nurseries present in the area.”
