Last year six people were killed and 82 seriously injured on Horsham roads.

A Horsham Police spokesperson said: “We are seeing too many distracted, dangerous, and inconsiderate drivers on our roads, contributing to the large number of people killed and seriously injured each year.

“Our annual Operation Downsway activity launches this week, to tackle road safety issues and positively influence drivers and motorcyclists to drive responsibly, considerately, and safely.”

Officers from Horsham will join teams across Sussex providing a ‘highly visible presence’ on local roads every weekend from now until September.

The spokesperson added: “We can’t be everywhere, but we could be anywhere, and with increased numbers of officers, better equipment and more intelligence, those intent on driving dangerously can assume we are not far away.”
