Essex Police have conducted recent speed enforcement operations in Basildon District, targeting areas along the A13 near Benfleet and London Road in Vange.

The initiative, part of the Vision Zero campaign aiming to eliminate road fatalities in Essex by 2040, recorded numerous speeding incidents.

This includes one driver clocked at 70mph in a 50mph zone and another at 48mph in a 30mph zone.

Through partnerships with local agencies, Essex Police are intensifying efforts to curb dangerous driving and encourage responsible behaviour behind the wheel.

A spokesman for Essex Police said: “There’s no excuse for poor driving. Play your part and keep your speed down."
