They added that the fastest recorded speed was from a motorist travelling at 66mph in a 40mph zone.

Police said there were no car meets in the area, following recent incidents in Port Solent and elsewhere, though one person was stopped for "driving other than in accordance with a driving licence", and issued a ticket for someone "driving without a valid test certificate".

Fareham West NPT carried out the patrols. "We are working very hard on reducing anti-social vehicle use in Fareham, as we are very aware of the affects it has on you OUR COMMUNITY," the force said.
