2 cars seen racing on the A34 Newcastle Under Lyme have been seized under S59 Police Reform Act, a warning is longer necessary prior to seizure. If you drive anti socially in Staffordshire you will be dealt with robustly!

Slow down, stay alert and help keep everyone safe.

14% overweight means your stopping distance is increased and causes extra wear to the weight aswell as making it more difficult to control. This one will stay on the yard until the weight is reduced and the driver will be dealt with for the offence.

Lane hogging - which we know isn’t popular - and causes risk to other road users is bad.
Eating your lunch (a whole lettuce 🥬) with no hands on the wheel is worse.
Driver stopped and reported for offences.
