High Alert: PSNI issues critical warning for Easter Road Safety

The PSNI has issued a second warning about 'anti-social driving' and 'car cruising and ‘diffing’ practices' ahead of what's expected to be a busy Easter weekend on the North Coast.

Police Warnings
Police had already cautioned earlier this month that they could confiscate vehicles in Portstewart and Portrush, after car enthusiasts gathered in the North Coast during the recent sunny weather.

Easter Safety Measures
The PSNI has now released a statement to the media in anticipation of the Easter weekend, cautioning the public against dangerous driving practices and pledging to focus on 'preventing violence against women and girls'.

Public Awareness Campaign
Causeway Coast and Glens Chief Inspector, Siobhan Watt, emphasizes the need for patience and safety on the roads, especially during the busy Easter period. The police will be conducting operations to ensure road-worthiness and discourage anti-social driving practices like car cruising and 'diffing'.

Safety Reminders
Drivers are urged to avoid reckless behavior, excessive speeds, and dangerous driving in coastal areas. The community is reminded to prioritize road safety this Easter weekend and to arrive at their destinations safely.
