Operation Octane

Car enthusiasts often meet up to socialise and view each others vehicles. These events are often called 'car meets'.

Most people attending these events are responsible. They comply to legal road use and show positive road safety behaviours and attitudes.

Some behaviours can cause disruption and increase risk across the community. For example, racing, speeding and unsafe parking.

Aims

Operation Octane aims to:

• Maintain safe experiences at these events for drivers, riders, pedestrians, the wider community
• Address risky driving behaviours with education first, warnings and enforcement where appropriate
• Reduce the impact of anti-social behaviour with vehicle related incidents

Who leads the operation

Norfolk Police leads this operation. This is in partnership with Norfolk County Council, local district councils and National Highways.
