Dangerous / careless driving is an offence anywhere, anytime the Police chooses.

If the public has access then the police can act.

My own quick response is that I don't see any way the police can issue speeding tickets for 15mph - there's no order in place for the limit. Neither do I think the default 30 for streetlit roads could apply as it's not an adopted highway.

However if there are reports of sub standard or dangerous driving, or of anti-social use of motor vehicles the police can intervene as it's land accessible to the public. If evidence of speed is needed to evidence the behaviours I've described above then a properly calibrated police 'speed gun' would be a good tool.

Yes, expect they were showing them what speed they were doing and have a talk to them

You would think considering the state of the country PC plod would have better things to do than this. Cannot see how breaking the limit could be enforced as mentioned as there would be no order in place to see it through.

Re Plod having better things to do.....

I think there is a need to tackle the smaller stuff, else it leads to a pattern of bigger offences. It worked in NY, of course they spent money on the police.

Was speaking to the bloke that manages the road for the resident's association.

Apparently the results from the police are as follows:

2 x driving without due care and attention.

1 x damaging property - heavy van parked on pavements which had signs saying no parking - shallow pipes - probably difficult to prove and likely an insurance claim as residents complained of issues when car was there. Drove off without leaving details and police action after 48 hours.

2 x no insurance - cars insured but not correct driver.

Best result till last...1 x over the limit (twice over apparently) - took spirits in water bottle to the game.
