Community police officers across West Lothian are being trained to use speed guns to tackle the growing complaints about bad drivers in towns and villages across the county.
Speed checks using hand held radar devices are currently used only by police from the force’s Traffic department.
However Traffic officers in West Lothian have been heavily involved in investigating serious motorway accidents, so Police Scotland has decided to roll-out speed gun training to its community constables to enable them to set up impromptu speed traps in towns and villages where the community identified a problem.
