Local Plod bagging up on illegal motorists.
Discussion
Just read an article in our local free-sheet.
Seems there has been a multi-agency operation (Op Roland) on one of the main roads near me.
Report states that out of the 41 vehicles they pulled over; 20 had no tax, 11 had no insurance, 5 had no MOT, 1 had exceeded driving hours and 2 had vehicle defects. Some had multiple offences.
One driver was reported as owing £800 in back tax.
How do they select the vehicles to stop - ANPR? Gut instinct? It's great hit rate anyway.
50% of vehicles with no tax is amazing. Is that a national average I wonder? Has that % increased since the removal of the tax-disk?
25% with no insurance is scary!
A day well spent.
