Responding to the police team’s post on Facebook, many residents welcomed officers’ ‘tough’ approach to the problem.
Tim Feeney said: “So many people think the laws of the highway don’t apply to them. I see it daily, illegal parking, tailgating, speeding, no indicators, general lack of consideration for anyone else.”
Mark Bailey posted: “Good, do these people ever learn! Selfish!”
