Motorists urged to drive responsibly near schools in Badenoch and Strathspey

Police in Badenoch and Strathspey are reminding motorists to drive responsibly outside schools.

The warning follows recent concerns about driver behaviour on the roads outside Abernethy Primary School in Nethy Bridge before the Christmas holidays.

Constable Lewis Macleod said: “Speeding or other anti-social driving around schools is highly dangerous.

“Driving past schools can be particularly hazardous with an increase in pedestrians and parked vehicles and especially at this time of year during longer hours of darkness.

Anyone who has concerns about driver behaviour can inform police by calling 101, or by speaking to any police officer.
