Police in Milton Keynes stopped more than 200 speeding motorists in a recent crackdown, something which could have an impact on the cost of car insurance for those involved.

The MK News reports the Thames Valley Police, the Safer Roads Partnership and the local council teamed up to tackle the issue of law-breaking drivers and stopped 212 in total between August 18th and 24th.

Motorists caught were given a fixed penalty notice of £60 in addition to three penalty points while those found to be travelling in excess of 50mph will be summonsed to court.

Chris Appleby, road safety sergeant, told the news provider said it was disappointing so many drivers were guilty of breaking the law and stressed the authorities will continue to tackle the problem.

"Thames Valley Safer Roads Partnership, in conjunction with Thames Valley police, will continue to target such behaviour with all means at our disposal," he said.

As some drivers were issued fines and penalty points they may see their car insurance quotes increase as some providers penalise motorists caught breaking the law.
