Either we found this car after it had been #stolen, or the owner was so excited to get to the #beach they left it unlocked with the engine running. Either way, we have recovered it for safe keeping!

Mistaking our patrol for a security guard, following a short conversation the driver of this vehicle unwittingly found themselves under arrest for drug drive, and reported for having no brake lights, no tax and no MOT. The smell of cannabis was rather overwhelming! @DVLAgovuk

You may have seen this Audi travelling well in excess of the speed limit and tailgating other drivers if you were on the M53 yesterday afternoon. Fortunately she was spotted by an unmarked patrol and when stopped we ascertained that she was not insured to drive either #reported

The driver of this Fiat attracted attention to himself due to his erratic manner of driving. When we stopped him it transpired that he was driving without insurance. He is a new driver and will likely have his licence revoked when convicted.

The driver of this Ford Fiesta collided into a vehicle on the M53 near to Junction 3 and failed to stop at the scene. When we caught up with her she blew a whopping 174 at the roadside and 160 back at custody, despite the legal limit being 35! She was charged and remanded.

The driver of this Ford Focus was stopped for using his mobile phone whilst driving. He had already been disqualified for 'totting up' over 12 points, but decided to take the risk and drive. Now he can look forward to an even longer disqualification when he lands in court soon!!
