Almost 200 fines were issued to drivers in Canterbury following a weekend gathering of car enthusiasts.

Police said the event was very well-run with limited issues, but some people after the event were seen driving dangerously.

They ordered 50 cars off the road, impounded six and suspended the licences of 10 people.

Police said antisocial and dangerous driving behaviour driving would not be tolerated and anyone who witnesses any this should get in touch on 111 with as much information as they can safely gather.
