I was recently stopped by Police for my vehicle being overweight on the westbound M62 just after J21-Milnrow. My rear axle was <10% over-loaded (3.5 tonne, LWB van), determined at the weighbridge at J20.
The Police were stationary as I passed them & were then on to me immediately. I wondered afterwards whether they randomly stop-checked or if there was already a predicting factor that the vehicle was overweight.
My Google research led to this:

Are these now in use on our roads?
