Road police patrols have been busy cracking down on driving misdemeanors across the county, including stopping one vehicle which crashed on the motorway, carried on and crashed again.
There have also been good examples of a ‘copper’s nose’ – where an officer has an intuition something isn’t right – and this week, it’s lead to a driver being taken off the road for no licence, no tax, no insurance, and drug offences.
