Bedford Driving Lessons

Undercover officers have been loaned a lorry to help them catch coach and lorry drivers flouting the law. Avon and Somerset Police will have a better view of other motorists from their lorry cab and will be looking out for drivers who are not concentrating. Sgt Mike Olding said one driver had even been caught cooking his dinner while driving. Anyone caught not in control of their vehicle could be fined, arrested or lose their license. Sgt Olding said: “Operation Tramline will be targeting all motorists, but the police lorry will be a great help to see if heavy goods drivers are using a mobile phone, laptop or even cooking their dinner – anything that affects their control of the vehicle they are driving.” The police are working in partnership with the Highways Agency and Vosa (Vehicle Operator Services Agency). More
