Anti Social Road Behaviour

The public are becoming increasingly aware - and quite rightly less and less tolerant - of how people use our roads, and of the ever increasing nuisance of individuals being aggressive and displaying bad driver or rider behaviour.

Anti social road behaviour contributes to the number of people killed and seriously injured on the roads of Essex. It is only right that Essex Police are looking to address and enhance driving/riding behaviour by increasing its presence on the roads by use of marked and unmarked police vehicles, along with recently introduced police motorcycles.

All too often an individual's behaviour is a key contributory factor within a road traffic collision - and very often this behaviour leads to tragic consequences. This may be the simple behaviour of refusing to wear a seat belt while a passenger or driver, to an individual who continuously takes 'chances' by making inappropriate manoeuvres, driving in excess of the speed limit, or at inappropriate speed for the conditions.
