SIR – Re the letter by Steve Swales ‘It’s quite simple, let’s enforce speed limits’ (Worcester News February 21).
He said that even if we reduced the speed limit on certain roads from 30mph to 20mph, it would not deter certain petrol heads from driving too fast.
His solution was to put police at every checkpoint with their ‘hair dryers’ to take photos and then to prosecute the offending drivers Police are unable to place an officer on every corner to control the traffic.
If Mr Swales has read the newspapers and seen the TV, he will know that the police force is to be reduced by thousands to save millions of pounds.
The numbers just aren’t there to enforce these speed limits.
