TRAFFIC police said four car enthusiasts would be reported to court for dangerous driving after a meet-up at Oxford Parkway railway station. 

Officers from Thames Valley's roads policing unit used a drone to monitor the event in the Kidlington station car park on Saturday night before they stepped in. 

Writing on social media, the traffic officers said: "Evidence was gathered before roads policing officers intervened and dealt with the culprits.

"Driving like this carries an inherent risk to bystanders and public as well as impacting the local community." 

Referring to the manoeuvre that sees drivers spin their cars around in a circle, the roads officers added: "Don't do doughnuts." 

Four drivers were dealt with for dangerous driving, an offence that carries a maximum sentence of two years' imprisonment and a mandatory roads ban. 

The Thames Valley Police traffic unit said in a Tweet: "Remember, we can't be everywhere, but we can be anywhere."
