Cumbria Police took action against four individuals in Whitehaven last night (5 Sept) due to their behaviour on the towns roads.
A spokesperson from Cumbria Police said: "Whitehaven became a race track in front of an unmarked police vehicle.
"Four drivers were stopped and reported for due care offences. They will also receive Section 59 warnings against them and their vehicles. This type of driving is anti social and risks lives."
- Section 59 allows the police to give drivers a warning if they are reported to have used their vehicle in a manner which causes "alarm, distress or annoyance". If reported to have done so again within a year the police have the right to confiscate the vehicle.
