This HGV driver fell asleep on the #M25 and careered down the verge. No injuries however it could have ended in tragedy. Driver dealt with for driving hours offences > £700 immediate fines, recovery is likely to be another £7k. This is why our routine HGV checks are so vital.

This ridiculous speed was recorded earlier on the #M11 (and at one point reaching 129!) The driver will have a day in court and likely be disqualified as a result. Speed, as part of the #Fatal4 is a significant factor in serious and fatal collisions which is why we enforce it.

Parking on the Zig-Zags is irresponsible and dangerous. These parents have been issued fines and penalty points whilst they were picking children up from school. The lines are there to protect pedestrians, not a convenient parking space! ✅ 3 Penalty Points ✅ £100 Fine

If you are going to overtake a marked police car that is traveling at the speed limit make sure you have insurance if not you will end up walking home with several points on your licence and a hefty fine as this driver find out. Qt11 78351 and 1090 #visonzero
