Officers from the Amesbury neighbourhood policing team carried out patrols in the town “during the December festivities” to keep road users safe.
Police constable Cox and community support officer Perry monitored drivers’ speed and checked vehicles for defects such as faulty lights, incorrect number plates and bald tyres.
An Amesbury police spokesperson said: “A number of vehicles were stop checked with seven breathalysers being conducted, all blowing zero.
“Two traffic offence reports were given out for excessive speed in a 30mph limit.
“One of the vehicles was captured travelling at 53mph and, when stopped, the driver was further reported for having no tax and window tint that exceeds the legal limit.
“Please make sure that your vehicle is safe to drive over the winter period by checking that your vehicles lights are working and your tyres are in good condition.”
What are the rules for tinted windows?
The rules for tinted front windscreens and front side windows depend on when the vehicle was first used, the government’s website says.
Vehicles first used after April 1, 1985 must allow at least 75 per cent of light through the front windscreen. The front side windows must let at least 70 per cent of light through.
Vehicles used before that date must let at least 70 per cent of light through the front windscreen and front side windows.
There are no rules for tinting the rear windscreen or rear passenger windows.
