Local policing Inspector David Hall would like to remind all drivers to keep safe whilst using the road network.
He said:
“Proactive patrols highlight Police Scotland’s commitment to improve road safety in Orkney and the wider Highland and Island area and will hopefully reassure the community that we both listen to and respond to their concerns.
“Our aim is to reduce casualties and influence driver behaviour and we will continue to address poor driving standards and decision making.”
