Road Traffic Offences: Hertfordshire

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps he is taking to help tackle speeding by motor vehicles in rural areas of Hertfordshire.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

Excess speed is still a major cause of death and serious injury on our roads. Anyone who breaks the speed limit should expect to face sanction.

Enforcement of speeding offences in rural areas of Hertfordshire and the deployment of available resources and capabilities is an operational matter for Hertfordshire Constabulary’s Chief Constable and Hertfordshire Police and Crime Commissioner to determine, taking into account the specific local problems and demands with which they are faced.
