LAW breakers have been caught out on a busy Herefordshire road.

Speed enforcement checks carried out by police constable Lowri Jones and new Bromyard officer PC Hamilton, who has recently joined the town team with 10 years' experience, caught a number of speeders breaking the limit.

PC Jones said the speed enforcement in Bromyard, Bodenham, and Bredenbury had seen a number of tickets issued and words of advice given to many drivers. 

The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and three penalty points added to your licence.

Drivers who build up 12 or more penalty points within three years could find themselves disqualified from driving, while new drivers within two years of passing their test will have their licence revoked if they build up 6 or more penalty points.

Police can give drivers they stop a verbal warning, a fixed penalty notice, or can order them to go to court.

Drivers can plead guilty or not guilty to a fixed penalty notice, but pleading not guilty will mean the case goes to court, with a risk of a higher fine and more penalty points if found guilty.
