Roads policing must remain a top priority

ROADS policing and road safety must remain a top priority for police in Cheshire.
This is the view of Police and Crime Commissioner John Dwyer.
He said: “Deaths and serious injuries on our roads have declined over the past decade. However, one death or serious injury on our roads is one too many.
“It saddens me to read the Constabulary’s incident logs where there has been a fatal road traffic collision, or one involving serious injuries. I would urge people to remember the rules of the road, with safety being paramount to everything.”
Mr Dwyer (pictured) said he was determined that roads policing remained a top priority.
Over the festive period Cheshire Police worked hard to tackle drink driving. Officers conducted 2,000 breath tests, and over 100 arrests were made. One drink driver even made the mistake of crashing into a police station, further highlighting the impairment alcohol has on drivers.
But it wasn’t just drink driving the force concentrated on.
Many cars were seized – and put on show outside police buildings.
Reasons for seizure varied from no tax and insurance to being an asset under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
