POLICE have carried out a special operation in east Reading following a series of collisions on a busy main road.

And the officers hailed it as a success, as it brought to light a number of results.

They checked 30 vehicles on Kings Road. Four drivers were found to be using a mobile phone while behind the wheel.

There were 11 people not wearing a seatbelt. One car had no valid MoT, another had an illegal numberplate, and there was a drug drive arrest plus one community resolution for possession of cannabis.

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said that this type of operation can be a deterrent for criminals, as well as ensuring vehicles and drivers are using the roads legally.

“This is not an ongoing operation, but is a continued partnership operation that has been run in Reading previously and others will be scheduled in the coming months,” they continued.

“There is a Community Speedwatch project currently being discussed locally, which could be utilised by volunteers to deal with the issue of speeding.”

The force also intends to use prevention campaigns, such as It’s Not Worth the Risk, to try and ensure that all road users behave appropriately and keep themselves safe.

“We also carry out effective, information led patrols and engagement in conjunction with our partners, to deliver a safer and more secure road network,” they said.

“We do rely on the public to provide information and would encourage anyone with information about speeding or poor driving to please report it so that we can gather information about a particular area and take action where appropriate.

“We would ask people to report online on our website or on 101.”
