Police in Gedling have issued a warning to drivers who have been treating roads "as a racetrack." Officers are targeting 'dangeous' car cruises in the areas of Carlton, Netherfield, Burton Joyce and surrounding villages following ongoing complaints from residents.
Numerous Section 59 warnings, in which the use of the vehicle is causing alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public, were handed out to drivers over the weekend. Police highlighted that one driver was caught twice in the space of 12 minutes using the public roadways as "his own personal racetrack."
He car was ultimately seized. This comes after a protection order was issued in an attempt to stop illegal car meets near a large industrial estate in Colwick.
