The video caught the attention of Detective Superintendent Andy Cox, the lead for road safety project Vision Zero, who tweeted on Thursday: “Aware of this horrific driving. I have tasked some investigative work to see if we can identify the car involved and relevant location.” He added in a later tweet: “Investigative research confirms this horrific driving took place within @sussex_police area. Chief Inspector Michael Dodders said in a warning to drivers: “We urge drivers and motorcyclists to ditch the excuses and remind them we will be enforcing speed limits at high priority locations targeting those who present themselves to be a danger on the roads. “We must share the roads responsibly, with more pedestrians and cyclists outdoors, it is imperative we continue working together to reduce the pressure on the NHS and emergency services, so they can focus their efforts on saving lives and caring for our communities.” RAC road safety spokesman Simon Williams said: “Since the government told the nation to stay at home many roads have become almost deserted so it’s a concern this is being seen by some as an opportunity to illegally ignore speed limits.
