In Norwich, special constables joined in Operation Calcomp, which targets motorists committing traffic offences, as well as trying to disrupt criminals who use the roads.

The specials tweeted updates during Saturday's operation. They said three drivers had been reported for using phone while driving.

And they said in the case of one of those drivers, who had failed to see two officers in reflective jackets at the side of the road, their vehicle was found to have two defective tyres.

They said three drivers had been reported for speeding in a 30mph zone, with motorists clocked at 45mph, 43mph and 41mph.

A traffic offence report was issued for an illegal number plate and a driver with a cracked windscreen was ordered to get it fixed under the Vehicle Defect Rectification Scheme.

Police also issued 33 verbal warnings for speed and defects.

And specials in South Norfolk also took part in a traffic operation, which aimed to highlight the dangers of the Fatal 4 - speeding, using mobile phones while driving, drink and drug driving and not wearing a seatbelt.

Nine drivers were recorded speeding, including one travelling at 100mph on the A11, while a car was seized because it was being driven without insurance.
