Question 5 - we asked:
A few years ago the Durham police followed the pioneering work of West Midlands Police by running Operation Close Pass where drivers were given roadside education sessions if they were spotted giving insufficient space when overtaking a plain-clothes police officer on a bike. This operation seems to have ceased. What sort of enforcement and deterrence operations would you like to see being run in the Durham area, and what priority would you give to this work?

I know if people get caught going through a red light in Gateshead they are offered training or a fine and points. Many take the training. I see this as a way forward and would investigate how we could capture the information of these drivers that need to be enforced to do the training or pay a fine. |
