Our Roads Policing Unit (RPU) officers joined partners including National Highways, the DVSA and Cumbria Fire and Rescue in a tyre safety event today (15 Oct) at Tebay Services. As the weather worsens and the nights get darker, take a few minutes to check your tyres today.

Good Idea At The Time - Ep 1 Leave car in isolated location. Remove plates so no one can ticket you while you’re wild camping Reailty Lesson - Ep 1 Unattended vehs with no plates attract attention. Police seize it suspected stolen True story. Expensive lesson.

A colleague on Traffic Management duties in Appleby this weekend has received some corrective training this weekend that “Horsepower” does not mean “motor vehicle” 😏 For clarity, no horses were ‘ticketed’ at #appleby #joke

This vehicle was initially stopped for having no tax. It turns out the driver had "borrowed" this car from her friend and had no insurance covering her to drive. The vehicle has been uplifted and the driver reported. Insp2378 / CI822

We undertook a road safety op on Bank Holiday Monday - 43 vehicles stopped and arrests made for drink and drug driving. The op was held in collaboration with Highways England and other northern police forces, aimed at reducing the number killed or seriously injured on our roads.
