More arrests have been made as part of a police operation to crack down on dangers on the road.

Operation Spotlight is a month-long campaign, focusing on the Fatal Four behaviours on the road.

Speeding, using a mobile phone at the wheel, not wearing a seatbelt and driving under the influence of drink and/or drugs make up the Fatal Four. 

Officers are carrying out enforcement activity, plus engagement and educational work aimed at raising awareness of them.

Yesterday, Monday April 7, pollice officers stopped a car at Kemplay roundabout in Penrith at around 12.30pm.

The driver failed a roadside breath test and was arrested.

She was subsequently charged with drink-driving and is due in court later this month.

Earlier, shortly before 9am, officers stopped a van on the M6 at junction 44, north of Carlisle.

The driver, a man from the Birmingham area, failed a roadside drugs wipe test for cocaine and was arrested.

He was released under investigation to allow time for blood test results.

Today, Tuesday April 8, a 34-year-old man from Lancashire was arrested at around 8.45am on suspicion of possessing cannabis, driving a motor vehicle with a proportion of a specified controlled drug above the specified limit and driving a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road without due care and attention.

He has been released under investigation.
