Police Crack Down on Deadly Driving | Bermuda News

Police unleashed a blitz of road enforcement over the weekend, handing out 100+ tickets in 24 hours after the 13th fatal crash this year. Officers targeted speeding, impaired driving, and distracted motorists — issuing 60 speeding tickets in one overnight shift alone, including a 92 km/h offender and two DUI arrests. Acting Chief Inspector Anthony Smith joined a reporter on patrol, nabbing 16 more speeding tickets and arresting a suspect with a knife, drugs, and alcohol — all within an hour. Laser guns and motorbike chasers helped catch speeders, while officers also assisted a fallen motorcyclist with minor injuries. The day ended with 25 citations for violations ranging from speeding to no insurance. At police HQ, wrecked cars from deadly crashes served as sobering reminders. Officials aim to slash fatalities and serious injuries by half by 2030 — and urge citizens to report reckless drivers to help them prioritize patrols.
