Speeding soldiers face police crackdown at Britain’s largest garrison

BFBS Forces News Reporter James Wharton joined officers from the Catterick Neighbourhood Policing Team during a rush-hour operation, where both civilians and serving soldiers were stopped for driving at excessive speeds.

▶️ In this report:
• Sgt Charlotte Lancaster explains why drivers are often shocked when confronted with their speed.
• Former infantry soldier turned PCSO Paul Enbom shares his perspective on road safety around the garrison.
• We hear from North Yorkshire Police and the Ministry of Defence about the risks facing young drivers and the measures in place to keep personnel safe.

⚠️ One soldier was caught driving 48mph in a 30mph zone and issued with a ticket. Officers say this is a stark reminder that “nearly 20 miles over the legal limit isn’t acceptable” – especially on wet, rural roads.
The message is simple: Speeding kills.
