Police to crack down on Shropshire’s rogue drivers
Thursday 15th July 2010, 10:22AM BST.
Rogue motorists using north Shropshire’s roads are to be targeted in a major crackdown spanning three counties, it emerged today.
The operation, which will see police work with neighbouring forces in Staffordshire and Cheshire, follows a string of complaints from residents across the area worried about speeding drivers putting lives at risk.
Police say they are prepared to “stop everything that moves” when the operation goes live in a bid to keep bad drivers off the road.

One can only hope that the remark has been reported out of context.
