As temperatures dropped to minus 5, one driver was caught speeding on the M55 at 116mph, and another early-morning commuter was stopped because of only clearing a tiny peep-hole to see through.
Road police have also been busy carrying out several drink-driving checkpoints, and have caught out drivers under the influence during regular patrols.
One Peugeot was pulled over in Blackpool and the male driver was found to be drug-driving. The car was handed over to the sober female passenger and owner of the car, who was later stopped in Preston and recorded as being more than twice the drink-drive limit.
