More than 100 drivers were stopped on two Edinburgh roads as roads police launched a major crackdown on bad driving in the south of the city.
Officers spent Saturday morning on Burdiehouse Road and Monday morning on Braids Road where they pulled over a total of 110 motorists. A number of checks, including breath tests, were carried out.
On Saturday police stopped 64 vehicles on Burdiehouse Road between 8.30am and 10.30am. Ten warnings were issued to drivers, and four fixed penalty notices were handed out. There were four negative breath tests, and no positive breath tests recorded.
On Monday, at Braids Road, 44 cars were pulled over and nine warnings were issued. There were no fixed penalty notices issued and one negative breath test recorded. No breath tests came back as positive and police confirmed there were no reports submitted to the procurator fiscal.
The checks were carried out as part of a Police Scotland winter road safety campaign, and weren't related to the enforcement of new Covid-19 travel restrictions.
Under new travel laws people are forbidden from travelling to or from level three or four areas, where there are still considered to be high levels of the virus.
