As we intensify our road safety operations and enforcement campaigns, we will use this legislative change as part of our daily business.'People who think it is acceptable to use our roads as a racetrack, need to pay attention to this result and take it as a warning - they will have their vehicles seized and they will be prosecuted. Where proportionate to do so, they will also be arrested.'I would like to thank the members of the public who reported this matter to us and apologise to them for any inconvenience caused when we temporarily shut the road to deal with the offenders.'If anyone has any footage of this incident, including dashcam or CCTV, please get in touch with us via 101 or our website. I would also urge anyone who witnesses such poor driving or riding on our roads to report it to us.'The force also highlighted Operation Snap, under which the public are encouraged to submit any photo or video evidence of driving offences to officers.
