Three times as many motorists caught speeding at this year's TT

Thu, 23 Aug 2018

The number of motorists caught speeding during this year's TT fortnight was almost triple the figure from 2017.

Home Affairs Minister Bill Malarkey revealed the numbers from the last five years in a Tynwald written answer.

447 motorists have been caught speeding since 2014, including 220 this year.

The number is up from 76 in 2017, with the majority of the cases being dealt with through an endorsable fixed penalty notice.

93 of the 220 were visitors from the UK, while local road users were stopped for breaking the speed limit 78 times.
