#RPU stopped another co-part classic on the A1 near Grantham. Online company reviews for car transport undermined drivers claim both cars were for personal use. Driver issued GFPN and vehicle immobilised for 11 hours.

Guess why this vehicle was stopped today by #RPU in Boston. Driver claimed it had fallen off but said it with a wry smile as they tried to 'Dodge' receiving a ticket. Driver issued TOR for failing to display a vrm.

Driving above the speed limit through a busy town centre street. Not wise when the unmarked police vehicle is following you. Even more unwise when you don’t hold insurance for the vehicle #fatal5 #Summons #getinsured #slowdown #driveinsured Simon French

#RPU Intercepted this debacle in #SPALDING. Passenger was holding the loose guttering, as it was impeding the drivers view and had already cracked the windscreen. Wow, we can’t make this stuff up. No consideration for other road users safety. Driver reported and load removed.

There is no excuse for travelling at this intolerable speed in a 30mph limit. Driver stopped by #RPU in Bourne and gave the woeful excuse of blaming their child in the backseat asking them to drive fast. Try explaining that at court. Driver reported for summons. #OpExcess

#RPU were leaving the magistrate court in #LINCOLN after giving evidence for a #Fatal5 offence, when this vehicle tingled their spidey senses. Having no insurance, MOT or tax = no car and a TOR with a long walk home. #MIB #JohnnyNoDocs

#RPU conducting speed checks on Sidney Farm Lane, Stamford due to recent complaints of speeding. This driver was stopped in a hurry to get home to use the toilet. Unfortunately travelling at almost twice the speed limit is an unacceptable excuse. Driver reported for summons.

This combination caught the eye of our #RPU on the A1 near Grantham. Nearly 2 tonnes over plated train weight as well as the obvious offence. Driver reported for summons for several offences and vehicle prohibited from further movement.

#RPU officers stopped this Tranit weaving up the A1 near Grantham towing a caravan twice its size. Almost 2 tonnes over train weight and no tax. Driver reported for summons for multiple offences. When towing, always check the plated weight of your vehicle.

#RPU stopped this van on the A1 near Grantham. Driver strategically putting the vehicle in gear when stopped to try and hide the lack of a handbrake. The driver couldn't hide the pool of oil though. Driver issued TOR and vehicle prohibited.

2 years ago, #RPU stopped this Bozo travelling at 60mph on the #A1, #GRANTHAM in atrocious weather conditions. Their passenger hung out of the window, “cleaning” their mates car. Unbelievably unsafe for all road users. Driver and passenger were dealt with accordingly #Deplorable

Driver stopped at excessive speed on #A46 #LINCOLN. Sadly, these high, dangerous speeds are recorded every time we attend the area. Driver is within first 2 years of driving licence & now at risk of losing their licence and job. It’s not worth the risk to all. #RPU #Fatal5
