All of the drivers stopped by police near Peterborough – including meat van over 1,000 kilos overweight

All drivers stopped by the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit this week.

A van in Sawtry was stopped by police this week for being 1,460 kilograms overweight. The refrigerated van, transporting meat, was supposed to weight a maximum of 3,500 kilos, but weighed in at 4,960 kilos.

The driver of the van was reported by officers, and had to wait for other vehicles to arrive to share the load before continuing.

This was just one of the incidents covered by the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire (BCH) Road Policing Unit this week – the policing unit which patrols Peterborough’s roads.

Other incidents included a privately owned bus that caught the attention of officers because of an Inbetweeners inspired message displayed on the front of the bus.

Its driver only had a provisional licence and no proof of insurance, so was reported and the bus was seized.

The Peterborough Telegraph has compiled a round-up of the images shared on the BCH Road Poling Unit’s social media account this week:
