27 drivers were caught speeding by officers from West Yorkshire Police’s Inner South Leeds team who conducted a Speed Watch operation on Sunday (10 May 2020).
Four locations were targeted in the operation:
- Sharp Lane, Middleton (30mph)
- Tempest Road, Beeston (20mph)
- Old Lane, Beeston (30mph)
- Pepper Road, Hunslet (20mph)
As a result, 27 drivers have been dealt with for exceeding the speed limit.
A spokesperson commented:
“Just because the traffic is different and there are less vehicles on the road, this doesn’t mean that the rules of the road are any different.
“Speeding is still a priority to our officers, with an attempt to alleviate any unnecessary extra staff to the NHS.”

Not before time every third car on the road in this area is breaking the speed limit at outrageous levels.
The only thing worse than a moron behind the wheel is a moron in a rush!
