THE Roads Policing Unit has launched a crackdown on bad driving to further reduce the numbers of people killed or seriously injured on roads in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Between January 1 and June 30 this year, the two counties have seen a 22 per cent reduction in fatal or serious injury casualties compared to the same period in 2011.

In total, there were 102 fewer casualties than in the previous year.
