Road racers in Barnsley are “risking their lives” after being caught doing
more than 100mph on a dual carriageway, police say.
In an open letter on Facebook, a South Yorkshire police officer has begged
the racers to stop speeding on the dual carriageway at Cortonwood.
Officers say they were verbally abused and had items thrown at their police
cars when they tried to talk to the hundreds of people lining the road.
The open letter adds: “Seeing groups of young people risking their lives,
and those of others, in the manner of their driving.
“Colleagues stopping vehicles and trying to give advice, prosecuting where
necessary, trying desperately to get the groups of people to see the
potential for their actions.
“So a plea from all those of the South Yorkshire Roads Policing Unit,
please, please, please stop. Stop risking your lives.”
