A road policing operation aimed at reducing the number of those killed or seriously injured on the roads of Wealden District has been announced.
Operation Triangle has been launched and will run throughout the Summer. Insp Steve Grace, head of road policing in East Sussex says that it will: “Enforce, engage and educate.”
“We are committed to reducing KSIs in East Sussex and especially across the Wealden District, which has a disproportionately high number compared to other areas in Sussex. For the next three months, we will be using marked and unmarked vehicles to target those who think they are above the law and anyone using the roads illegally can expect to be caught and dealt with.”
He continued: “We are aiming this message not only at road users, but also their relatives and friends. Drive sensibly and legally and we won’t bother you, but drive drunk, at speed, without insurance, not wearing a seatbelt, using a mobile phone or just anti-socially generally and you’ll be seeing our blue lights flashing in your rear view mirror.”
Police are working closely with the East Sussex Casualty Steering Group and the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership and the operation is being supported by East Sussex County Council.
