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.

9. "Coppers nose"
This Skoda was in Blackpool and didn’t seem right to a patrol officer. Stopping the vehicle revealed no insurance, tax or MOT, no driving licence and drugs. The vehicle was seized and the occupants dealt with for drug offences and the driver was reported. Photo: Lancs Police
10. NOT a dirty number plate
This isn’t a dirty registration, it has been newly fitted by the owner. It caught the attention of motorway patrols on the M6 as it is heavily-tinted front and rear and the spacing does not conform to regulations. The driver was issued with a ticket and made to remove it and fit a legal registration. Photo: Lancs Police
