Kent Police has defended its record on speeding motorists after figures suggested its detection rates were among the lowest in England and Wales.

The force was said to have recorded 18,878 offences in 2017-18, down from 23,080 in 2011-12 - a drop of 22, according to data published by the RAC Foundation.

The statistics would make it the fifth worst constabulary for catching speeders.

Nick Lloyd is the Acting Head of Road Safety at The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.
