POLICE officers say the message to ‘kill your speed before kill someone’ is ‘not getting through’ to drivers in the community.

Police targeted Northwich and Winsford, and some roads in the outskirts of Middlewich and Knutsford throughout August, and caught a staggering 273 speeding motorists.

Insp Dave Snasdell said: “The message of kill your speed before you kill someone is not getting through to drivers in the community.

“We will continue to target areas that are at risk and reported by the local community.”

The 17 roads were targeted following information being passed on from the public about speeding hotspots.

The road which stood out as having the biggest speeding problem was Chesterway in Northwich, as 81 drivers were caught speeding over a period of two hours and 20 minutes. That equates to one speeder caught in Chesterway every three minutes.
