Leicestershire Police conducted a FATAL4 operation in Market harborough

Leicestershire Police were in Market Harborough yesterday (18th August) as part of their six week summer campaign against drink drug driving.

Officers carried out spot checks on motorists between half past ten and half past midday in Springfield Street Car Park opposite Sainsbury’s
petrol station.

During their two hour FATAL4 operation, police detected fifteen seat belt offences and three drivers using hand held mobile ‘phones whilst on
the move.

A driver or passenger not wearing a set belt carries a £100 fine. whilst it’s £200 and six points on your licence for using a mobile behind the
wheel. However, no drink/drug drivers – which would have meant a driving ban – were found this time.

Police warn there will be further FATAL4 operations in the Harborough District in due course.
