MORE than a hundred speeding motorists were clocked by Buckley volunteers in February.

Cllr Arnold Woolley leads the Buckley Community Speedwatch team, which covers the town and surrounding areas.

He said despite challenging weather conditions, his team did get out to the roadside on eight occasions last month.

During the total 50 hours of work, 111 speeders were recorded and of those 110 were reported to GoSafe.

One of the fastest speeds recorded in the last few weeks was at Raikes Lane in Mold.

There the team recorded 39 vehicles in an hour - 20 of which were speeding in the 30 zone.

Eleven of them were doing 40 miles per hour or more and one of them was doing 48.

Cllr Woolley said: "It's clear that while most people are being good - because the numbers have dwindled over the last six years - we still have idiots in a hurry who continue to scuttle along at speeds that are quite dangerous for the circumstances."

Speaking to those who continue to speed, he added: "Drive safely, not speedily.

"If you get into the habit of driving above the speed limit, no matter what it may be, then of course we do have GoSafe out there as well."

Cllr Woolley has reiterated many times previously that while his team's hard work results in letters asking drivers to be more careful on the road, were they to be clocked by GoSafe it'd mean "points on their licence and pounds out of their pockets."
