Police Crackdown On Anti Social Driving

Police will be setting up a number of speed checks across the island to stop late-night racing.

States of Jersey Police and Honorary officers are teaming up to set up the checks in all 12 parishes.

They'll also respond to and investigate complaints from the public, and dispatch plain-clothed patrols.

In 2020 the force launched an 'intelligence-led' operation to tackle anti-social driving and those who were using Jersey's roads 'as a race track'.

SoJ says that incidents of dangerous driving fell following the operation and a number of prosecutions and vehicle seizures.

Leads for Roads Policing, Inspector Callum O'Connor says the main aim is to make all road users and islanders feel safe.

"Operation Canvas represents a concerted effort to confront the dangerous behaviours exhibited by these anti-social drivers who show little regard for the safety of themselves or others. We aim to send a clear message that reckless driving will not be tolerated in Jersey."
