Anti social behaviour in vehicles

Agreed on 11 May 2026. Updated on 18 June 2026

We’re getting complaints about vehicles being driven too fast on rural roads, and in an anti social manner
These roads can be narrow, have sharp bends, hidden junctions, and unexpected hazards like tractors, walkers, cyclists, animals, or horses. Driving at speed leaves very little time to react and can have serious consequences if something goes wrong.

If you’re experiencing speeding or dangerous driving in your area, please report it to us so we can build a clearer picture and take appropriate action. Slowing down and driving to the conditions really does help keep everyone safe.

We’re getting complaints about vehicles being driven too fast on rural roads, and in an anti social manner

Rural roads aren’t safer just because they’re quieter. Hidden bends, poor visibility, farm traffic, and vulnerable road users make speeding especially dangerous.

The limit is not a target — drive to the conditions.

Slow down on bends, expect hazards, and be prepared to stop within what you can see.

If you see anyone driving in this way and if safe to do so report it

Anti‑Social Driving – Help Keep Our Roads Safe

We’re still receiving increasing reports of anti‑social driving, including speeding, loud revving, racing, and aggressive behaviour. This kind of driving puts pedestrians, cyclists, other road users and residents at real risk of serious injury or worse.

If you witness anti‑social driving:

Report it – your information helps us take action
Note details where safe (location, time, vehicle description/registration)
Do not challenge drivers yourself

Call 999 if there is immediate danger
Call 101 or report online if it’s ongoing or recurring
Use the force website to submit dash‑cam or phone footage

Your reports help us target patrols, issue warnings and take enforcement action.

Speeding on Rural Roads

We’ve received concerns about vehicles travelling at excessive speeds on rural roads. Speeding can significantly increase the risk of serious collisions, particularly on narrow or winding routes where visibility is limited.

If you witness ongoing issues or have concerns about speeding in your area, please report them to the police. Your information helps us identify problem areas and take appropriate enforcement action, when conducting our patrols.

We are conducting patrols in our rural areas.

You can report concerns via:
101 (non-emergency)

In an emergency, always call 999.

Let’s work together to keep our roads safe
