A total of 13 drivers are facing prosecution for varying traffic offences, including inconsiderate driving, after a police exercise in Bodden Town on 6 Dec.
The RCIPS Traffic Unit conducted the traffic operation in the vicinity of Beach Bay on the morning of 6 Dec, in response to community road safety concerns occurring during peak hour commuter traffic passing through the district, a police statement said.
Superintendent Richard Barrow, commander of the eastern districts and Sister Islands, has put the community on notice that they can expect to see more targeted traffic operations “as we lead into our annual holiday safety campaign, ‘Winter Guardian’, which launches this Friday, 8 December.”
Barrow added, “We want to remind drivers that the roadways are shared spaces. Your driving behavior has a direct impact on other road users. If we all practiced safe driving behavior every time we get behind the wheel, such as not speeding, putting our phones down and obeying the road rules, we would drastically reduce incidents on our roads.”
