A speeding uninsured driver was spotted near Rugby, with insecure items in the back.
Police stopped the vehicle on the M6 northbound after it was seen driving at high speed and were astonished when they noticed the unsecured goods in the back, which might have fallen out at any moment.
Warwickshire Police added: “It also turns out the driver had an expired driving licence and was not insured to drive the vehicle.”
“The driver also had an insecure load with items not secured to the vehicle,” said Operational Police Unit (OPU) Warwickshire.
The driver was reported to court and the vehicle was recovered.
Driving with insecure loads or without insurance are both serious offences which can result in a prison sentence. It can be fined up to £5000 and receive 9 points on your licence.
If you are caught driving without insurance, your vehicle will be seized and you will have to pay a release fee to get it back. You may also be prosecuted and if found guilty, could face an unlimited fine and be disqualified from driving.
