pocketgpsworld.com
Results from a speed awareness campaign in Frome have revealed shocking statistics as hundreds of drivers were caught flouting the restriction and travelling up to twice the speed limit.

Those in charge of the scheme, Mendip Community Speedwatch, set up speed camera vans to monitor the driving of local residents in Frome and the surrounding area. Since its introduction, the scheme has issued more than two thousand warning letters over the past two years, with those contacted facing possible legal prosecution if caught again.

Over the past four weeks, the camera vans caught four hundred drivers travelling at speeds of up to 69mph in areas with a 30mph limit.
