POLICE detected more than 100 speeding offences in a Somerset village – in just ONE HOUR.

Officers from the Avon & Somerset Police Road Policing Unit (RPU) carried out speed checks on the A371 in Castle Cary after residents raised concerns over drivers breaking the 30mph limit.

And the RPU said on Saturday (October 19), 60 minutes of speed checks revealed a whopping 109 offences.

They posted an image of one driver on social media, who was clocked driving at 60mph as they passed over a 30mph road marking.

“Our attendance was as a result of complaints from local residents,” a spokesperson said. “An hour-long check at this location resulted in 109 excess speed offences.”
