TWO motorists were caught breaking the speed limit on Buckfastleigh’s ‘race-track’ Plymouth Road.

Police set up the speed check in response to local concerns about those ignoring the 30mph restrictions.

Friday’s campaign caught just two offenders - one doing 34mph and the other 40mph.

The slower of the two was given ‘words of advice’ about the transgression.

But the faster culprit drove off before police could have a word.

A spokesman said after Friday’s operation: ‘The vehicle had no insurance and no MOT.

He added: ‘Inquiries are currently being made - and that driver will have his day in court.’
