#A31 #RoadClosure Good evening all, Please note the A31 is closed in both directions from Junction 1 of the M27 to Picket Post services while our colleagues from the Fire and Rescue Service attend to a fire on both sides of the carriageway with our support.

17 yr old with a provisional licence and L plates thought getting his knee down round the Victory Roundabout was a good idea right up until the unmarked police bike pulled alongside. Actually a nice lad, hopefully the pain of the points for due care will make him think twice.

#RPTaskingTeam have spent the day on the A303 around Andover . We dealt with 15 offences including speeding, driving whilst using a mobile phone, careless driving (lane discipline), no seat belt and tinted windows. We will continue to target the #fatal5 #3197 #28931 #20762

Officers from #RoadsPolicingTaskingTeam located this vehicle being pushed along the A27 Portsmouth. Officers helped him off the carriageway but enquiries showed the driver was disqualified from driving. Car seized and driver off to court to explain themselves. #3197 #28931

Heading to a theme park with your partner and 1 year old? Do you (a) leave on time, or (b) under take, cut up and tailgate other cars from Basingstoke to Winchester on the M3 and travel at well over 100mph at every opportunity? No alternative to court for this.

Officers were flagged down in Eastleigh by a member of public, reporting a Range Rover involved in a road rage incident. We soon located the offending vehicle & discovered the driver only held a provisional licence & was not insured. The vehicle has been seized. #28036 #27265

We can now confirm that the A31 north of Alton has now fully reopened. Sorry for any inconvenience that was caused while we dealt with a serious incident.
