A group of Cardiff students, who are worried that speeding motorists with new driver car insurance might cause road traffic fatalities, have begun a crackdown on dangerous driving with help from the local police force.
Together they managed to catch 17 motorists, including a lady who did not have a license or insurance, and was driving over the speed limit.
The headteacher at a primary school in the area, said, "We all know drivers go over 40mph past our school every day because we see it, but it was still shocking to catch so many in just an hour-and-a-half."
He said that the young students will now have the opportunity to lobby Cardiff Council with their findings, in the hope that more will be done to improve local road safety.
A spokesperson for Cardiff Police stated that there have been 80 crashes along Willowbrook Drive, near the school, in the last two and a half years alone. Many have involved drivers with young person's car insurance.
A policeman who helped the children with their campaign said that he remembered one woman saying "[they] had made her feel very embarrassed and humiliated" by stopping her vehicle.
He apparently informed her "that was the whole point of the exercise."
It is expected that the local authorities will take this issue seriously, and install speed bumps and speed cameras, in order to deter reckless motorists, including those with new driver car insurance.
