Police will crack down on inconsiderate drivers in and around Stonehaven today and tomorrow during a high visibility patrol.
Officers will also be stopping commercial vehicles and checking them for defects.
PC Holliegh Scott, of the Stonehaven community policing team, said the aim was to ensure good driving standards were maintained.
She added: “There are a significant amount of commercial vehicles of all sizes travelling around Stonehaven and making use of the A90 trunk road.
“Many of these vehicles routinely visit building sites and sustain damage to tyres, lights and windows that are sometimes overlooked by those using them.
“This operation, running alongside Operation Cedar, is aimed at targeting these smaller commercial vehicles to ensure that any defects that do exist, or maybe have gone unchecked, are remedied.
“It is a balance between education and enforcement that will ensure drivers and those operating such vehicles maintain them to a good standard.”
