Motorbike Insurance

An initiative from officials in Suffolk has seen close to 2,000 motorists caught breaking the speed limit in the region, according to a local news source.

The Suffolk Free Press has commented that over 1,800 drivers were stopped by police officers for exceeding the limit during the week-long initiative.

As a result, these motorists could find that they have invalidated their car insurance policies, or find it difficult to pick up a cheap deal in the future if cover firms consider them a risk and increase costs.

Sergeant Steve Knight, commenting on behalf of the roads policing unit in the county, said that road safety is the primary reason behind the action.

"The campaign was well-publicised and there still seems to be a significant number of drivers who have failed to grasp the concept that speed kills," said the official.

Earlier this week, US rapper and movie star DMX was caught driving dangerously on a road in Arizona.

The entertainer, who appeared in the movie Exit Wounds, was found to be travelling above the limit and behaving recklessly.
