A range rover was recorded by the group as doing 71mph through this area.
Lewes Police said the results were ‘disappointing’.
The checks were carried out as part of a Community Speedwatch (CSW) – a national initiative involves members of the community using speed detection devices to monitor vehicle speeds.
The aim is to educate drivers to slow down, and improve the safety and quality of life for everyone in the local community.
