In a video, you can see a Ford Focus being driven erratically at 56mph in a 30mph zone around Crayford High Street – just one street over from a preschool and a church.

Another motorist, approached by police on the same night, at around 2.15am, was spotted in a heavily modified Ford Fiesta.
Officers in an unmarked car, saw the driver attempting to race another motorist on the A20 near Sidcup.

“We act quickly to disrupt any events that have a negative effect on local communities, and do not hesitate to take action against those who drive their vehicles in an irresponsible manner and put other members of the public in harm’s way.”
